You are a salesmans dream - DFS await your visit to see all of their "deals".
In the meantime, those of us on this site who understand the dictionary definition of a deal (e.g. A bargain) shall carry on with our day.

Definitely cold if you've received a faulty unit. Every other manufacturer has 0% failure rate, this is a shocking failure.....

For anyone wondering why you have been charged for the device but it has not shipped il explain.
You bought the phone from Google for £288
The £288 is charged to your payment card and google would have received an authorization code from your bank. This allows them to request the money from your bank.
In the mean time your bank puts £288 into a suspense account where it sits pending from 3-5 days
Since google wont actually charge you until it ships they money shows off your available £££ in your bank account but it has not been claimed by google as they havent shipped your phone
So after 3-5 days. If your phone hasnt shipped £288 will fall back into your account.
Then when the phone ships the £288 will be processed again and this time google will clime the money and you will see £288 Google play order on your transactions list for your bank.
This is quite an american way of doing things as its taken you are paying by credit card. Even the play store asks what credit card you want to pay with.
If you had paid with a credit card they transaction would go through just the same but you wouldnt notice the £288 being put into the pending state as its not YOUR money your being restricted to accessing it would only be £288 of credit available.
Its more down to the fact its always been advised to use a credit card on the play store and pretty much the norm for americans to pay for most on a credit card where as here in the uk we use our debit cards more which is why this happens.
If you see in about 3-5 days the funds will become avail again unless google ship the phone, in which case you will see the payment on your statement

About the nexus 4 i want to pick one up on ebay. They are 3g but if i have a phone pumping out cat 4 4g on a hotspot, will this be faster internet if i connect to the hotspot using wifi on the nexus 4
Just getting rid of my 920 for one of these to go back to Google. The 920 is lovely except the camera (despite the reviews) and more importantly the navigation - it does not offer alternative routes and when you take a diversion it seems heavily weighted to getting you back on the original route rather than recalculating.
If you do go for a Windows phone have a look at the Samsung Ativ S (now on ebay too as going back to S3) - my partner got the Samsung and I got the Nokia at about the same time and the Samsung is just nicer, lighter and has a better camera in real life.

Can't say I have ever really dropped a phone. My 3 year old has dropped my Nexus on carpet a fee times and it's fine but I do have the Ringke Fusion case on it. I still worry about scratching the screen so I have never removed the screen protector

Currently on this one. Haha. So, well ... I'm REALLY worried about the glass back as some people say it broke after they dropped it from 2 inches. A friend of mine broke when he got on the tube and he thinks someones hand went against his pocket. There's so many articles about the broken back.... so I'm a bit scared about wasting the money.
Also looked into Razr phones - because of the better battery.

Hmm, - wanted to get the Moto X. Sadly won't be available in Europe... so I may get this one. Don't really like the way it feels in my hand. What do you guys think? Still a good idea to get this phone NOW, or is it too late?
Hope someone still checking this... Anyone can advise how long the warranty is? Also does it comes with 1 year European warranty?

Thought I'd just add my experience of Googles customer service. I bought mine back In November. No problems at all until a couple of weeks ago my Nexus 4 started running really hot (it wasn't a faulty app) and was literally like a pocket warmer even when idle!. Anyway, battery went from 100 to 0 % in a few hours, until it started giving me the red light of death problem (quick google, will find info on this). Anyway, it had to go back, so I phone customer services, spoke to someone within a minute and they sent me an email straight away. Went to the link which ordered me a replacement device there and then. Within just 2 days or reporting the fault I had a brand new Nexus 4.
So first class service I think and no sending off my broken device for them to examine and then send back, which I was thinking could of taken weeks - just a straight replacement.

If you are intending to buy this, I would rather wait. The white nexus 4 in US comes with a free bumper, and by that time black one might come with the same offer. So you would get a free bumper which cost around £15 on GP.

Hey, it says on GP that it takes around a day or two.
All packages will arrive via TNT within 1 - 2 business days of your order. Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email notification with a TNT tracking number. Your estimated time of delivery will be determined at the point that your order has been processed and shipped. It may take 24 hours for the TNT package tracking to return any information for your tracking number.
If you have not received a package tracking number after 24 hours have passed, please contact our support team.

I would go with Nexus 4. Support for WP will end next year anyways, so you might not get any update on these.
I have got lumia 800, although it's not bad, it doesn't have all the apps you might like to use. Plus WP is all about scrolling. I had an Android before and wanted to try WP so bough lumia. Trust me, you would loose plenty of functionality. I am planning to buy nexus 4 when it comes in white (hope very soon).

3 Jun 13#2320
I bought it from a friend who lives in Hong Kong, I guess the main issue for many is the availability of this device, I have a couple of friends who sourced theirs from Aliexpress, and paid just under £300 for the handset (with DHL shipping, took 3 days to their doors), I'm not a fan of MIUI which comes pre-loaded on it, so swapped that out for stock Android, no complaints with it so far, the best phone I have ever purchased, for the price compared to buying a Nexus 4 at the current price for me personally it was a no brainer, the obvious argument against would be the issue with warranty and the availability of parts to fix the phone if anything went wrong, but I guess that is the risk you take. Any further questions feel free to PM me and I will be happy to answer them, Antutu scores 25,391 from scratch I managed to pull out just over 26,000. Running speed test in my bedroom on mobile internet it showed averages of ~12,000kbps down, 2,500kbps up (me and my friends all own the 32gb model)

Has anybody had any big problems with the phone. Read a forum where several users had a fracturing back glass issue.
I assume this issue is only for an unlucky minority but the people affected were basically ignored by Google and LG. Not encouraging in case the worst does happen....

White will be available any time now and by the looks of the US store it will be the same price as the black plus it will ship with a FREE white bumper. The black should also get this offer when the white goes up with this offer.

Agree with all the positive comments. Ive had mine since November and its an awesome phone!. No lags or incompatabilities noted with anything as yet. I have the 8GB version but I only use apps and it more than meets my demands. Only gripe is the battery, it never lasts more than a day usually but charging overnight I no problem for me, but aren't most phones like that anyway?
Highly recommended. I would easily buy a second one if I needed it.

It's NOT a deal, why is this on the front page again?
It was never a deal in the first place as it was the standard price, obviously prices were going to be higher on the high street as it's the high street which are always more expensive and people wanted to make profits on it due to it being out of stock.
Also it's LG and has possibly the worst speaker, mic capture and camera of any smartphone on market now. Oh, it also has a low contrast screen, hold it next to iPhone 5's LCD or Samsung's AMOLED's and the colours look washed out on the same picture. The quicker Google leave LG, the better.

I've had a Nexus 4 since launch.
1. Not broken front or back (I'm reasonably convinced that not dropping it or hitting it on hard things helps).
2. Doesn't lag in any way, nor does it freeze or have a video loading issue. Only bug is occasional bluetooth lockup which is solved by a reboot.
3. Battery life is perfectly normal for a smartphone, and noticeably better since the most recent update.
It's a ridiculously good phone for the price. The end.
bigphilblackpool
2 Jun 13#2303
these are well known for freezing and becomming slow after time, most google play apps require internal storage (instant acces) for the apps to work correctly, most wont open from a cloud storage service, and the no1 culprit for these phones than nobody has mentioned, lg made the glass super thin and also bonded the screen to the glass (cheaper to make) new screen that will fit correctly = £147 without fitting!!!! i only know as ive had 3 of these, one smashed after trying to put a protective case on, the screen just spider webbed, 2nd was a drop from sofa height onto laminate and the whole front just exploded. third was bending down and a pound coin pressing against the screen ; / most fragile phone ive ever owned. beware!!!!!
SpectreFace
2 Jun 13#2302
My one is about 3 months old and has started lagging a lot, basically since I added a load of music to it although that could just be coincidence.
Other than that my only problem with it has been the common video loading issue on youtube where you have to go in and out of aeroplane mode to get it to actually play videos every so often

When iphone sold out on the first day, but you were able to buy it everywhere for £1200, does that figure become the RRP?
If you are talking about price at a phone shop, they sell it with a contract, which is value-adding, hence the premium.
Anyone else choosing to pay over the official Google price, out of contract, now that there's no stock shortage, should have their sanity checked.

How did you buy this phone?
striker33
1 Jun 13#2294
Was the carphone warehouse deal. Can look at it in various ways tbh. Was something like 580 over 2 years, ultd data/5000texts/500mins on 3, minus 35 quidco, so 545 over 2 years.
I was already paying 13 a month sim only for the same contract but with 300 mins less per month, working out at 312 over 2 years. A 600 min contract would be 16 per month, so the 500 min contract is worth around 15, leaving you at 360 over 2 years.
So technically you could say that the phone only cost me 230 quid-ish if you take into account just the price I'd be paying for just the sim only contract alone. Its also the cheapest unlimited data contract you can get at 13 quid. This isnt even considering the 300 extra minutes and 16gb card. The £45 worth of free apps come with all Note 2 purchases, but theres also a £20 video hub voucher if thats your thing.
I could also quite easily have sold it and used the profit towards a note 3 or any other phone.

Google is selling this phone CHEAPER than the high street retailers. its not in stock all the time due to the high demand. Its now back in stock, hence the repost as with any other deal. The battery life, it lasts me for more than a day with fair to heavy usage. Gaming can last around 4-5 hrs. Nova 3, Need for speed etc. Graphics are awesome, NEVER lags, ultra smooth. As for built quality and durability, I have dropped it a few times on concrete with a cover and its in perfect condition, even my 3 Yr old plays with it and god knows how many times he's thrown it around. LG have proved themselves in my eyes. I no longer have any doubts in LG products. Cant say the same about Sony especially after what happened to my xperia.

That would be my question also. Was on here for 299 refurbed couple weeks back. Usual price for Note 2 is usually at least 50 quid more. (which puts it 70+ more than the 16gb Nexus 4 and well over 100 more than the 8gb version - which i now wish id got btw!)

The Note 2 cost me 300 brand new, with a free 16gb SD card and 60 odd quids worth of apps/credit. For me its worth the extra 20 quid. The size of the device is not an issue either, as I have tiny hands and get on fine with it.

I get 2 days and around 5 hrs screen time or 1 day and 6+ screen-on-time on mine. Screen is excellent. Can tailor it to how you like it. For the money it is EASILY the best handset on the market, by an absolute mile. Nothing else is even close.
I would just add to anyone currently on an iphone and looking at an android phone - If you love your iphone (and the way apple want you to do things) the chances are high you wont like android so I certainly wouldn't jump ship without trying one first. Ive never got on with anything from Apple, but thats just me (i find them the opposite of easy to use! Nothing is ever where i think it should be.)

Sent mine back after 2 weeks usage. The screen is terrible, despite the rest of the device feeling very high end. Poor refresh rate and saturation, as well as viewing angles similar to what you'd expect from a TFT screen.
The battery life was also terrible. Was running with stock settings with all the google tracking crap set to off, and only getting 3 hours at most screen time. In stark contrast to the previous phone I had (iPhone 5), which got around 7 hours before dying.
Switched to a Note 2 which is getting 6-7 hours screen time on wifi, but with Google Now tracking my steps and all the fancy privacy invasion GPS crap on, sucking away in the background. Its not much bigger than the Nexus 4 either.

I had been waiting for the Google I/O conference for a few weeks expecting a new version of the Nexus 4 and also a price drop for the existing models, seems that wont happen now. They havent even announced a new version of Android.... Oh well, I think I may wait now....
Yep, its true. I watched the 3 hour presentation and it basically rambled on about google chrome and messaging.
The new nexus devices wont be out until the new iphone and ipad are announced at the end of the year now, as I'm assuming google will want to steal Apple's thunder.
These phones still go for close to their RRP used on ebay, 5 months after launch, so you wont lose much should you decide to upgrade down the line.

Incidentally I bought the 16gb version. Long time iphone user. Its £240 cheaper than an iphone 5 (not sure if free delivery on apple, assume so). Im happy with the phone as its an amazing price, integrates with lots of cool google stuff. It has google now which the iphone doesnt, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
Its a great phone, lots are comparing to iphone 5, they both do things better and worse than each other id say. But at the end of the day the nexus is £240 cheaper but its not half as worse :smiley:

I bought a nexus 4 16gb, coming from an iphone. Great phone for the price, its £240 cheaper than an iphone 5, yet it has (for those bothered) better specs when mobile benchmarks run. So all in all a great phone for the money.
Delivery is expensive but it said 3-5 days at the basket, but I got mine next day and I ordered the afternoon before, including the case.
'Google now' is cool too, swipe up from the bottom :smiley: (not currently on iphone).
Theres a few niggles, but it does do things better than the iphone and vice versa, swings and roundabouts. The integration of the google stuff is great.
If looking for a bargain phone that is high quality, get this.

A brilliant phone! Been through every version of the iPhone since the 2G till 4S, and have to say moving back onto Android is the best thing I've done. For what you pay this phone is amazing. If the memory was expandable and the battery was removable that would be great but nevertheless still great.
Noticed a slight defect with the screen, with what looked like pressure being applied on the screen causing patterning when using the touch screen. Called Google and explained the issue, they are issuing me a new phone at no cost. I can return the defective phone within 21 days of placing the new phone order which is great! So no need to send old phone back first. Brilliant customer service. No extra delivery charges or anything.
So far so good. No regrets with this phone or with moving to android!
Highly recommend this phone to anyone.

On reflection, it is very hard to use the phone with one hand. I'm an iphone 4s user and it's easy to get on with making a call, typing texts and general phone use with one hand. With the Nexus 4 - you will need two hands. I have two toddlers and would not recommend.

I guess what I'm saying is that I wasn't as impressed by the iPhone 5 as I thought I would be. With the benefit of hindsight, if there'd been nothing wrong with my iPhone 3G then I would not have upgraded. I felt ripped off for what the phone was, the iPhone 5 is just not worth the money. (And this come from someone who loves the iPhone and stuck with the iPhone 3G since it was released). The Nexus 4 grows on me more and more each day and it is waaaaay better value for money, I definitely do not feel ripped off at all. I absolutely love that universal ‘Back’ button that the Nexus 4 has. When I went from using my Nexus 7 to the iPhone 5, this was the number one thing I missed on the iPhone.

One thing you won't like going from your SE is the poor camera (I had the SE C905). I thought I could tolerate it but since I have no useable photos from my son's 3rd birthday party I realise I can't! Other than that it's blooming fantastic so if you're happy to carry a camera around with you when you need to take photos then I'd have no hesitation in recommending the N4. Battery life is fine, I'm running juice defender and I only turn on wi-fi, location services when I need them. I get about 2 days casual use or 24 hours heavy use.

I've been considering this phone for a while now, but i think i might be waiting a little longer. I've heard rumors of a so-called Google X-phone, a partnership between Google and Motorala i think. Also heard that it could have wider range of handsets to suit the users needs, eg. power, storage space, camera, etc.
Also, how are people finding the battery life on this? I'm going from an Sony Erricson walkman phone to a smartphone, so i don't really know what to expect.

Google are selling pretty much at cost so there is little room for price cutting. There is likely to be a 32GB 4G/LTE version avalaible soon, but this will probably be priced ~£100 higher rather than dropping prices fro existing models. At sub £300 the Nexus 4 is by far the best value high-end smartphone, so no need for cuts. Prices could actually go up a little due to weakness of the Pound.

But the Nexus 4 is much better value for money, and seeing as how I already have a Nexus 7 I am very pleased with the Nexus 4.

Google's customer service is very poor. I received my phone with the packaging tampered and the phone was rooted. I only noticed it when I tried to download the Barclays app.
I contacted Google and was told they would arrange for it to be picked up. It's a long process. They send you an email, which you have to print, then you have to wait for a post sticker. I understand it arrives 7 days later.
They agreed to supply me with a another phone provided they could block my card with the new amount. I explained the phone was rooted and that the packaging was tampered with and therefore I should not be penalised, but they didn't appear to care.
Needless to say, I did not agree to my card being authorised bearing in mind I had already paid for the defective phone.

I bought an NFC enabled phone recently and although I understand how to use some of the features, the contactless payments bit is proving hard to fathom. I just don't know how to get started, I've trawled endless news articles and apps looking for information. I can understand why there hasn't been a big uptake on NFC here yet given how difficult it is to get started! I know that Orange and Barlaycard launched Quick Tap but that it's only available on the Samsung Galaxy S3. Numerous other wallets like it aren't available in our country, the only one I can find that seems compatible is a Russian Visa app called Visa QIWI Wallet, but it's all in Russian. I have met somebody who have said that they've used NFC payments with their Blackberry phone before, how do they do that? Apparently London Buses take mobile phone NFC payment too now and more and more places are accepting the payment method. I have a 2013 Galaxy S3 Mini. Can somebody help?

I've had every iPhone from launch, usually on launch day, and every iPad, aside from the latest, all on launch day.
I can honestly say this is the most impressed I've been in a phone for a long time.
Now, it might be my expectations were low, (I sold my 64GB iPhone 5, for £550, and got this for £240, so just something half as good would have pleased me) but honestly, the only thing I can say bad against this phone is the camera. Not pleased with that, but I have a couple of nice cameras so not the end of the world.
Love the widgets, always used iTunes match, but Google Play does the same, for free, and replaced all my iPhone apps via Google Play, and they do just the same, aside from my Sonos App, (hopefully that will change).
Anyone considering it I would say go for it.

Slightly wrong there mate.
You can easily flash the radio to enable LTE again. So it is a 4g device. Limited countries where it will work I'll admit, but can be 4G no problem

Just to add some corrections on the LTE/4G front, it does have the correct hardware for 1 band of 4G (which as correctly mentioned is basically 1 Canadian carrier), however this latent 4G/LTE support is completely disabled and removed at an OS level with the latest Android patch version. In short, it is not and never will be a 4G device.
Like millions of others once they launch a 4G 32GB model for a competitive price I'm in.

I've had both.
The Nexus screen is bigger, and you can customise Android a lot. In my opinion, the Nexus looks a bit better from the front than the iphone 4S too. Not sure about the sparkly back and plastic sides on the Nexus though.
The 4S build quality is better, and app support in terms of quality and quantity is generally better with Apple. As I said a page ago, I wasn't impressed with the maximum volume level and hissing when connected to an in car aux port with the Nexus. For that reason alone, I'd go with Apple.

DC-HSDPA isn't 4G. The phone does have 4G but only for carriers who use the AWS bands. Which is a grand total of no-one in this and most countries.
LTE is a big omission from the N4 but screw it. Who really needs those kinds of speeds anyway?!
Warnoq
4 Mar 13#2179
Would just like to say, this phone does have 4G in fact... Its just not LTE, that's all.

Sephiroth
4 Mar 13#2178
Sure that works. But I find those external battery packs to be bulky. I like being able to slip a spare battery in my pocket on a night out or a day where I don't have a bag with me. You can't do that with your USB charger, nor will your phone work until it has charged the battery unless it is kept plugged into the USB charger - something which isn't ideal when you're using it or walking about. They're a lot less convenient than spare batteries basically.
Unfortunately I will give the deal a miss because until I see phones with 5000mAh batteries and higher I will not be buying a phone with batteries which can't be removed.

I'm sure they could get plastic to work. The old Palm Pre range and Nokia's new phones have wireless charging through plastic backs, and I believe Nokia is using the same wireless charging standard as LG have.
I do think the glass is a design choice and personally I like it (aesthetically and for the 'premium' feel). But then, I've never had to actually live with a phone with a glass back...
Warnoq
4 Mar 13#2176
I think the glass back design has something to do with the wireless charging no? Plastic wouldn't work and metal, that'd scratch just as "easy" as this glass.
I have read blogs, reports and posts saying pre 2013 nexus 4 models didn't have gorilla glass 2 on the back though? Idk.

4 Mar 13#2175
As I mentioned earlier, I have a USB charger that can fully charge this phone 2-3 times and cost £15.99 from amazon and has a 1amp and 2amp port and retain 80% charge after 3 years apparently. It's not big and bulky and I take it abroad, on the plane, and in the car.
TheVoice
4 Mar 13#2174
It's probably safe to assume that dropping your phone caused the damage to it. Whether your iPhone has been damaged or not from the same thing is beside the point; most smartphones are rather fragile so you can't complain that they get damaged when dropped or mistreated.
That said, stupid design decisions like putting glass on the back don't really help the situation. Considering it was a massive design flaw on the iPhone4/4S, I can't understand why Google/LG thought it'd be a good idea. Still, easily resolved with a rear cover.
indiegirl
4 Mar 131#2173
Sephiroth: no, it's a fixed battery.
max11: I personally can't see the 4g being an issue until the major carriers are up and running with it - by that time this phone will have been superceded.

I've got one. However, there's a known issue with 4.2 Jellybean and Bluetooth. I had a Nexus S before and swapped to this - the phone itself is fantastic, fast and smooth, but not a huge upgrade for me.
However: the Bluetooth issue. I have built in Bluetooth in my car. It pairs and connects fine, but doesn't accept voice commands to answer: no matter what I try it won't answer. There isn't a
There are a couple of threads on Google and Android forums to this effect. It's due to an update in Jellybean that has broken it. There isn't a swipe override on the phone to answer either, so your calls go unanswered, which is a PITA.
Just a warning if you rely on Bluetooth headsets or built in car versions, there's not eta for the fix yet either.
However apart from that it is a highly customisable, fast and smooth phone and I don't regret buying mine.

Honestly, I would take it of unless you're really scared about scratches. The feel of the glass is so much nice/smoother to use than with the plastic protector... your finger tips just glide on the screen. (You'll probably laugh, but you'll know exactly what I mean if you take it off!)
The phone will remain unlocked to all networks, forever however please be aware you will need a micro-sim for this phone though.

@cache - took the words right out of my mouth... I've had for a month now, no case or screen protector And I haven't a single scratch.
Its gorilla glass 2 ffs, something far better than the iPhone and correct me if I'm wrong Samsung fan kids, but its the same as the sgs glass. Seriously, Samsung users becoming the new Apple fans, bashing anything that isn't Samsung (when quite clearly its better, IMO)
If you're that careless, the same would have happened to any other phone on the market so you cannot uses the fact it scratched as denoting it cheap and crap, don't be so cheap yourself and in vest in a decent protector, gee.
Now if you want a nexus, buy one. If you want an iPhone, buy one. If you want Samsung junk, buy one. If you want HTC, buy one. Quit bashing other tech, buy what you want and grow the hell up.

I use a cheap Ebay flip case, yes you can't see the phone and the camera gets dusty but the phone stays scratch free. The Nexus 4 is a powerful phone, however it just feels exceptionally boring in use and the camera is just average. I haven't noticed a significant upgrade over my SGS2. If you have an SGS2, just stick on a decent Jellybean ROM and maybe get a new battery and save yourself some money. I'd say the Nexus 4 doesn't live up to the hype. Good price for the performance you get though.

I'm still on 4.2.1 as I rooted and have TWRP recovery so it won't update to 4.2.2 easily, and I haven't bothered as my phone works. I use the free Easy Battery Saver app in Intelligent mode and I find my battery lasts longer.

I'm so tired of the whole iOS vs Android vs Windows
All have their advantages and disadvantages.
For the record I have a Nexus 4, but want a 5s in a few months time just to give iOS a go mainly because I want the CHOICE of MORE apps (that I'll probably never use) but also why I wouldn't go Windows.
For ME the only negative with the Nexus 4 is the camera, good but not great.
Battery is fine 1 day is enough for a smartphone in MY opinion.
4G is to young for ME to want to pay the premium THIS year.
16GB is enough for ME at the moment too (with Dropbox or Box or Google Drive or Sky Drive as additional options)
Buy what meets YOUR need and enjoy what YOU have, bearing in mind that YOUR fabulous SMARTphone will be old news come 6-12 months down the line.
It's gonna be a big year for phone-tech this year and every year going forward.
HTC One, Sony Xperia Z, Samsung S4, iPhone5s, Nexus 5, Note 3...the choice is yours....ENJOY

Yes and no is the simple answer. If you have a SGS2 with a decent custom ROM, like I used to have before I sold it and bought this phone, then I'd say you really won't notice much improvement over the SGS2.

This phone isn't as good as everyone claims...the "glass" front and back is made of the worst glass ever...scratches easier than the iPhone 4/4s..it's cheap but there's a reason for it...you really thing if it was amazing they would only retail for this price...I seriously doubt it

Got one of these before Christmas to replace an ageing iPhone 4, very good phone and well worth the price.
A few free apps I recommend you get:
Carbon - Does full backups without rooting (including to the cloud)
Light Flow Light - Get different coloured notifications for different events (purple for texts, green for email and so forth)
Met Office - Great weather widget
Nova - Allows better customisation of the desktop including removal of the search bar
FX - File Browser
AndroZip - Open compressed files
Box - 50GB of free cloud storage
MX Player - Great media player
Power Toggles - Toggle buttons in notification screen (including a flash light)

You can't understand the fuss being made over a top-end smartphone that costs £280? There are phones with fixed batteries and non-expandable memory being sold for double that. I can understand why it might be a deal-breaker for some people, but surely you can see why it's a very desirable device to the majority?

You can get the standard 'S' Wave TPU cases off eBay for £2/3. Poetic Bumper is popular; Poetic Atmosphere provides good all round protection. Check out XDA on the accessories section:
Got one of these today, can anybody suggest a decent case and possibly screen protector for one of these?

As said above it's the screen that takes the majority of the battery so it would depend how much you use the screen as to how long you would achieve. I'm probably a light/medium phone user, I certainly don't watch any films, and manage to get at least two days out of a charge with Juice Defender installed.
I had reservations myself prior to buying about the battery and memory card situation but thought back and couldn't remember a time when I had my Xperia Arc (14 months) that I needed to remove either for any reason, so went for the N4.

If you're so against the Nexus, why are you even here?

I honestly can't imagine not being near a power supply for a few days. I go home every day, sit in an office most days, go on holiday to hotels with electricity. In all my years of having a mobile I've never found myself in a situation without any form of power to charge the battery. If you want a phone with a good battery try and 10 year old Nokia, I've got one kicking about if it's any use, play snakes :wink:
I'm not going to sit here and say it's the best phone ever made but for me it's the best solution to MY requirements

Dependant on what you are doing the screen use is the main over-riding factor. So far between 4-5 hours has been the norm. This though has meant I've had between 12 hours and 40 hours between charges as it was entirely based on how I used the phone. The 12 hour battery life came on a day where I had a couple of train journeys so had a 2x2hour windows it was almost permanently on browsing/mails/music/games. Other times it has been more infrequent use checking apps/mail/games for a short period at a time and that meant it lasted 40 hours, but still my screen use was 4hrs-5hrs during that time. If I just watched a video for those 2 hour train journeys it would have been more like 6 hours usage in total I believe.
For todays use(on a normal work day) I took phone off charge at 7AM, currently after 7h 17 mins on battery it's at 77%, and screen usage is 1h 5 mins, i.e. 1h screen = 25% battery or thereabouts. I've never gone to the extreme of using it for 4 hours solid to prove it would drain in that time as the drain does change(when not in use a battery monitor shows very little use whilst idle i.e. 1-2% over a 3-4 hours if that.
I've always used androids with removable batteries and expandable storage for the reason of not being without power and I like my music/films on the device rather than on the cloud and dependant on data access. I'll admit even with the 16Gb I'm not overly happy as I've been used to 32Gb minimum. For battery life I prefer knowing I can swap(or at least having the option of a "power case", as yet there aren't really any for this phone). It's an excellently built phone and I enjoy using it but something just doesn't sit right with me I am not sure what though. I've took up a contract this morning on the other deal for a 64Gb Iphone/£20 contract, I needed a new contract at some point but the memory and availability of power cases (if not a removable battery) have swayed me for now.
I know Google want data to be in the cloud but for what I do and where I do it there are still too many times I am without data/wi-fi and/or power that make me more happier knowing I have storage and options for power more available.
I may live to regret it as I've never used an iPhone for any length of time before. But whilst I can get a decent price back for my Nexus I am thinking of sacrificing it for now. I know that will have some people thinking I'm add but for my circumstances it makes sense to me which is what matters. Maybe in 12/24 months time things may have moved on and I would be happy to move back to a restricted phone like a Nexus, but I also still see why I would go for a Galaxy for the benefit of removable battery/storage(I switched to the Nexus from an S2)

Hell 8gb is more than enough storage for me... And IMHO opinion you're and idiot if you take a phone like this to a festival tbh.
Besides I get 36 hours battery out of it and that includes bluetoothing music to my speakers. Also for the same price of a SGS3 battery I got a rechargable Duracell external battery pack with TWICE the capacity of a phone battery
If you're gonna spend another 100+ quid just for an SD card slot, go ahead... I'm happy cause I have a better phone than that Samsung crap :smiley:
Lottiebird
27 Feb 13#2109
16GB is more than enough storage for me. And I don't go to festivals! I have an in-car charger for emergencies but can easily get 48 hours out of the battery. So why would I waste money on a more expensive phone just because it has a removeable battery and an SD slot?!
ryan2801
27 Feb 13#2108
I can't understand the fuss with these phones, no SD slot and a battery you cant even swap for festival weekends.
Out of interest, with a lot of use, how long does the battery really last? Having spare batteries with me has been a lifesaver before.

I use the Poetic Atmosphere case and its great for short impact bumps & nudges (say you hit a table corner with the phone in your pocket) - that what it excels at. It doesn't absorb shock very well as the back is hard, so if you drop it from a great height (say 4 feet or more) I don't know if it's better or worse than a 'TPU'/plastic case.
The back's finish isn't very good (looks scuffed up) and the grey rubber can fall off - however many people vouch for the customer service they have. They will deliver an exchange no questions asked, and you keep the faulty case. I replaced mine no problems.

Battery life is completely CRAP. im on Jellybean 4.2.2. I watch 3 mins of BBC news and battery drops down around 13%.

Cant decide between the 8Gb or 16Gb.
How much space do videos and photos use up? Am I likely to fill the 8Gb up with a few photos and a bit of video?
If someone could advise on file sizes for photos and average Mb's per minute for 1080 video that would be a big help

The s3 is more polished Samsung has had time to add features. I own both the s3 and the nexus 4. The nexus 4 has WiFi driver problems Google has ignored them so far.. Do a web search and you'll find out about them. But the pure android experience on the nexus is superior to touchwiz also faster. The nexus screen is also superior. Each has its benefits the s3 has multi window, smart stay, s voice, paper artist etc.. The nexus has way less software features as standard.

Firstly, do you live in a cave? in this day and age, when don't people have an internet connection? The only reason you wouldn't have an internet connection is if you're on a plane/going abroad, something which would require planning and part of that planning is downloading a few GB of music to your phone, directly from GPM... hell you can do it while you're waiting around at the airport...
Sorry, your problem was?
SilverBlack
21 Feb 131#2083
You cant use that 40gb of music if you have no internet connection.
Warnoq
21 Feb 13#2082
Exactly, Maybe its just us personally but touchwiz just looks too gimmicky and child-like, my phone is not a toy! Personally I prefer to use my own eye rather than reviewers and I see no difference in camera quality plus I find the N4 camera UI more sophisticated. Battery wise, I've not had an SGS3 long enough to gauge properly but then again then N4 has a slightly more power hungry screen and CPU so it'll never be the same!
As for the lack of SD, people keep moaning but I have the 8GB model with over 50 apps(all the apps I need should I say) and still have 3.8GB left and I have 40GB of music on Google Play Music... whats the problem?
skinrush
21 Feb 13#2081
Couldn't agree more. You've hit the nail on the head. Touchwiz is annoying in my opinion, though the lack of micro SD slot on the Nexus means that you have to be more selective with what you store on the phone.
Other things that I would add are that the SIII's AMOLED screen is very difficult to see in bright sunlight. Reviewers have said that the SIII camera is better in low light situations. My observation would be that there's very little difference. The SIII battery seems to last a little bit longer than the Nexus too, but not by much in my experience so far.
stenard
21 Feb 13#2080
I had a look, but the screenshots seem to indicate it does little more than Tasker or Llama (which is what I use). And there are reports on xda is actually inflates CPU usage. I think I'll pass until I hear it adds something more than the aforementioned.

If you want an SD slot, get the sgs3

LIkewise, mine shows at 45% now after 20.5 hours off charge, screen usage is 2h 23. One thing I have noted though is that the battery voltage does fluctuate a lot which can give false readings in some way, i.e. before this latest charge my son used it to play a game yesterday afternoon (Flight sim type thing that always seems quite CPU intensive) the battery dropped from 25% to 7% in the space of 30 minutes, but then it stayed at 7% for around the next 4 hours of usage. Looking at battery monitor widget though the mV of the battery dropped to 3545, but after stopping the game at7% the mV reading went back up to 3710 then drained again for a while before the battery percentage dropped again. In total though that was just shy of 36 hours usage and 4h 15m screen time

Poor battery is normally determined by resource heavy screen usage (games, watching Youtube,streaming etc) - so it will drain more battery compared to somebody who is surfing the internet.
Idle battery drain is also important - download 'BetterBatteryStats' to get an idea of what is 'waking' up the CPU when the screen is off, and make the adjustments (reduce refresh times, uninstall drain-heavy apps).
Poor reception is another big factor. Typically staying on Wi-Fi drains less battery than on mobile data (wi-fi disables data connection)

I was out yesterday at the football and took 20 photographs, had several phone calls, sent about 50 texts, had a bit of Internet browsing and the phone is still on 54% just now 25 hrs after it came off charge. So I think people on here either have faulty batteries or underestimating what they are using.

I tried phoning earlier but they were pretty useless, just spouted rubbish about the shipping estimate only meaning the date for the phone to reach the 'shipper,' and that i should wait till at least Monday before i try getting in contact again. Im going to try again tomorrow and wait for a proper answer. It definitely seems like they've made some mistakes with orders placed on the 30th.
Plus, I've paid a tenner for two day delivery and its been over two weeks, ill be trying to get that back.

I ordered mines on Jan 30th and I've still not had any updates from google since then. Shipping estimate was Feb 13th and obviously thats been and gone. Phoned google and was told to just wait a few more days. To make it worse, it seems that a lot of people that ordered after me have received their phone already, its a bit of a joke.
Anybody else had this problem, and if so, have you made any further progress with google than i have?

For anyone that wants to try and force the update to 4.22 try this it might take a few attempts.
Go to Settings -> Apps -> All
Find Google Services Framework.
Tap on Force Stop.
Select Clear Data.
Then go into about phone and check for update.

For anyone thats interested in the Rearth Ringke Slim case, I must say it is a fantastic case... very slim, adds almost no bulk to the phone and has a very nice feel to it I would highly recommend if you want a case, however sadly for me i've got use to a naked phone and want to keep it that way (also needed for wireless charging) so I guess i'll be selling the case on!

Been using the phone for couple weeks now, no screen protect or bumper, still looks good. Silver trim and plastic does seem to blemish easilly, but the screen and back are fine, no scratches I can see. Don't like using a screen protector, the film never seems to feel the same as the gorilla glass.
If you want to get some protective film I'd go for invisible shield, just because it does't blemish as eailly compared to the cheap plastic ones, but it does have a slight orange peel affect. They are somewhat easier to apply as you apply with solution as well.
Personally just using the phone as it came, no cases.
Warnoq
15 Feb 13#2025
Personally I wouldn't get a screen protector, I think it defeats the whole point of the curved screen which I really like and find useful, plus for me I find GG2 to be pretty tough and cheap screen protectors and finger magnets... However with that said, you have bought a bumpy which kinda renders the curved screen useless also so you're not really losing anything of you get a screen protector, just try and find an oil resistant one if finger marks annoy you!
On another note, I my Rearth Ringke Slim cases just arrived :smiley:

yes, get it off amazon but not arrived yet (or the phone).
can anyone recommend a decent screen protector?
element54
15 Feb 13#2023
I would get a screen protector to be honest. The things that mostly scratch the screen, small particles and grit, are likely to mark the screen without you ever knowing. Although its 'Gorrilla Glass 2', these small particles may/does scratch it.
How much did you get the Poetic Bumper? It's £15 including P&P on Amazon UK right?

Yeah don't get me wrong either, I was praising PayPal not Ebay... I hate Ebay for the fact they charge so much, its actually ridiculous and they never used to charge final value fees but at the same time, theres no site that I can use that will get me the same sales and prices :/ I hate using it but I kinda have to!
The tax avoidance doesn't bother me but it seriously annoys me they have the audacity to charge ridiculous prices, They've made over £600 in just 1 year from ME ALONE!!

How easy is it to return the phone? Dont like it. Do they ask a million question ? is there a number? do i have 7 days?
Thank you in advance.
Oh don't get me wrong - I've used eBay for many transactions too, both buying and selling, but I do find their final selling fees to make quite a noticeable dent when you add on the insertion fees and P&P. Most of the time when I've sold things I've had to either take a hit on P&P to make it more desirable to bidders because of rival products, or remove it completely and offer free P&P. It really eats into the money you've made and sometimes I've actually ended up with pennies and it wasn't even worth the time to walk down the Post Office and send it.
Still, without eBay I'd be quite a few hundred pounds poorer. The other alternatives are Cash Converters, CEX etc which I'm not a fan of. I've always saw them as dealing with stolen goods, especially Cash Converters (although I guess they've got a lot of barriers in place for that now), plus eBay opens up worldwide availability.
I should just say though that I've used websites like eBay and Amazon less and less since the tax avoidance stories came out. Bit ironic really since I bought a Nexus 4 directly from Google.

eBay is 10% plus 40/20p :wink: So many people slate ebay but personally I have had over 3000 transactions, never a problem from them and I've had them resolve over 100 problems due to sellers, they've always helped me out and get my money back... seriously don't get why people hate them so bad

I don't think so, there are hundreds of brand new unopened nexus 4 phones for sale on Amazon USA for less than the UK google price. Also more worrying there is a USA survey that states 14% of nexus 4 phones have faults that require sending back to google for repair or replacement, mine has been switching off randomly since yesterday, it is really annoying to find you have missed several calls, now I keep checking to make sure it is still on.

So decided to forgot about the orders I put through originally on the 30th Jan including another order placed on the 6th Feb. Managed to cancel my order from the 6th and decided to give Google one last chance. Ordered the phone today around 1pm and wait for it.....received a dispatched message with TNT ref - hallelujah!
I guess orders placed on the 30th have just fallen into a loophole never to be found. Now lets see if the phone reaches my hands....

Posted RMSD Friday 8th
Received by CeX on Monday 11th (order processing)
Tuesday 12th Order complete. Any payments or returns have been dispatched
Thursday 14th the full £344.00 paid into my bank account
Rip off when via bank its free. Just create a bank account for online trading.

- I doubt franchise stores would have touched the phone @ £344 even with an email quotation after the price drop (they most likely have shelves full of them)
- The CEX site clearly states it will take up to a week to confirm, grade and process payment (it took 6 days)
- Paypal took a cut of less than £2 which I don’t think is too bad bearing in mind the added security
- If I was CEX I would have seriously considered rejecting / returning the phone. Their online stock level alone is approaching a £50k loss based them selling each one at google's RRP - which they wont. Lots of people were concerned that CEX might have pulled the “Item damaged on arrival” card to limit their losses. If they had it would been almost impossible to prove otherwise.

For all those who sold to CEX online just before the price drop and are nervously awaiting a response, I can confirm that they are continuing to honour the price. So long as they receive the phone within 5 days of the quotation.
I sold on the 6th-Feb and posted by 24hr courier on the 7th-Feb which was signed for on the 8th-Feb. I have just received confirmation of payment £344 – happy days.
CEX are currently selling online at £375 :confused: and have 517 instock :confused:

It's a brilliant phone. Considering the price its an amazing bargain.
Google does not want to upset its manufacturing partners too much by selling too many of these phones. I think they will always be sold in limited batches to create a buzz and buying frenzy.

There are a lot of people out there who would be reluctant to buy from the States so eBaying a couple is a great idea. May do the same.
Another niggle with my N4 is the internet. Although my signal is 3 bar it says no network connection when I try and connect to the net. Often turning the device off and on again resolves it but I shouldn't be having to do that.

I got a Rearth Ringke Slim, seems fantastic from all the reviews and to me looks more sophisticated and better quality than the Poetic. Just searched the other two you mentioned, the Cruzerlite is going to be just the same as your current, cheapy one... just with slightly better quality and the Bodyguardz is a sticky film, not a case so I still think the Rearth Ringke Slim is the best.
I bought three as they were coming from the states and chucked the other 2 on ebay for the price I paid for all 3 so got mine for free essentially! Should be noted that they're bringing out a 'Rearth Fusion' for the N4 which is similar to the 'Ringke Slim' but has a clear back, which I am waiting to go on sale :smiley:

Which case did you go for in the end? I'm still using my s-line £1.99 eBay case. It's fab but looks cheap. I'm thinking of getting the Rearth Ringke Slim or the Poetic Atmosphere but now I've seen the Cruzerlite Androidified case and the Bodyguardz skins just to make my decision even tougher!

My Nexus 16GB was delivered today at 11:38 (13/02/2013). I got the dispatch e-mail at 19:32 (12/02/2013) and wasn't expecting it until tomorrow, so I was quite surprised when it turned up today. That is within 48 hours of actually making the initial order. Very good service.
I feel incredibly lucky. Hopefully everyone else gets theirs. What I'd suggest is trying to make a new order (if you're one of those who've been waiting since January) as it seems like their supply chain might be getting sorted out now, but is giving priority to newer orders for some reason. Possibly sending items from the back of the line out first and hoping those at "the front of the queue" will re-place their orders.
As for the above comments on a rattle inside the phone or a squeaky volume button - mine doesn't have any such symptoms. But then again, it has only been out of the box for about 30 minutes.
Warnoq
13 Feb 13#1977
I guess that's karma then cause now I noticed the rattling when I put the phone down! because I tend to change the volume without looking, so I feel for the button instead and it just happened :disappointed: Well none of my old HTCs have done that and it only creaks on the top part, not the bottom :/ Sadly im still waiting for my case to arrive from the USA!
Seriously such a good phone, everything has its little 'niggles'
Lottiebird
13 Feb 13#1976
OMG, I can hear a creak and it's getting worse - your fault, lol!! Why were you running your finger back anf forth over the volume key anyway. It's going to creak though surely as it's a one piece key on a pivot (did I use the right term? I mean like a see-saw) so it can move about quite a bit. My phone is in a case though so I don't press the volume control when I pick it up.
The camera rattle is distracting but not uncommon apparently. I read somewhere that it's the because the lens is sprungloaded so stabilise it, otherwise your pictures would come out wobbly. But for the money I paid I'm really not going to grumble :smiley:
Warnoq
13 Feb 13#1975
Are you sure, like I didnt think I did at first but if you firmly slide your thumb across the volume button, from top to bottom its creaky.
As for the rattling camera, is it really that bad?! I hear a tiny clicking when I shake the phone but nothing when walking :s I presume its the barometer not the camera
Lottiebird
13 Feb 13#1974
Me! My phone doesn't squeak or creak at all. The only annoying noise I get is from from camera which rattles in my ear if I'm walking & talking.

I ordered a Nexus 4 16GB at 23:31 last night (11/02/2013) on Google Play and I got a dispatch e-mail today at 19:31 (12/02/2013).
When I ordered it last night, I was given a dispatch estimate of 28/02/2013, and I thought I had a long wait ahead of me. I guess not. I did notice this morning, however, that the shipping estimates on the Google Play shop page for the 8GB and 16GB had changed from 1-2 weeks and 2-3 weeks, to under 1 week and 1-2 weeks, respectively for the 8GB and 16GB models. This literally happened overnight. I queried the Google Customer Service via an e-mail about this and got a boring, bog-standard automated reply about shipping estimates.
Also, I came across a small hint in this thread which mentioned removing your debit/credit card details from your Google Play account (the one you're going to buy the Device with), then re-entering them onto your account and this can have an effect on how your order is processed. I did this, and it might just be coincidence but it might have worked. I wouldn't recommend doing it, but I gave it a chance which resulted in my order being processed and dispatched within 24 hours.
I don't know, maybe I have just been really lucky. I can feel the frustration in this thread. Google should be handling this better but if it's supplier problems with LG then hopefully Google will learn not to use them in the future (even though I prefer LG to some other Asian companies).

I never trust reviews as you'll see from my previous posts. I prefer to judge for myself and I've had the chance to compare side by side and there's no real no difference. 99% of people won't notice any difference at all.
Also anyone serious enough about photography which you would need to be bothered about any minute difference in these two phone cameras would be buying a stand alone compact or SLR anyway.

Still waiting, having ordered on the 30th at around 8pm.
Called customer service a number of time explaining something has gone wrong in the processing as others ordering after the 30th get their orders very soon after.
Customer service always reply with not being able to comment on other orders, everything is fine i.e. Estimated dare is the 13 and that has not elapsed yet.
Morons just dont want to do a more detailed check to see if there is truth in others getting orders sooner and doing a more detailed check (with their distributor) as to what is going on!
I bet the issue is that a whole batch or order details have never reached the distributor, or have been lost by the distributor.
Shame Google wont bother to look into it until after the 13th.

My battery life gets better with each charge cycle. I also use juice defender and turn off my WiFi, mobile data, turn the brightness down etc. If I use it pretty much all day I'll get 24 hours out of it.
As for all this talk about the camera, I've come from a SE C905 which had a stunning camera. At first I thought the camera on the n4 was shocking and was set to return it. When I called Google CS the guy asked if I could send a picture to them which I did and he said there was an issue with the handset. One factory reset later and its fine. Not as good as the c905 but a good camera nonetheless. Needs more manual intervention than I'm used to but that isn't a deal breaker. You won't get more bang for your buck imo

Battery life isn;t so bad, 8 hours of intense/actual usage at least. Will get you through a day most likely. For the money and size I can't complain. On 60% battery, and been running for 7 hours. 10% of that time was the phone actually being idle.

As for the reviews, I dont know about you guys but I personally think the pictures here look better on the Nexus, they're arguing that the blue is from the sky but I'm sorry, if my eyes don't see it that way when I'm outside then its not right :s
Seriously annoys me that people are denoting this phone as 'bland' simply because it has no Sense, Touch wiz or other bulky UI and they havent read any guide on how to get to all the shorcuts and such. of course the SGS3 will excel in some areas, the same as the iPhone and and other phone... just like this, most noticeably it amazing spec for such a little cost!
People want everything these days for pennies, well its not going to happen and if you're the kinda of person thats got expendable cash to sell your SGS 3 and buy this, thinking you're going to get a super phone then you're rather silly IMO... its half the price, what logic makes you presume its going to be better is beyond me.

Not according to Techradar - I've always found their reviews to be pretty accurate and well balanced. Ultimately they really like the phone, but if you use the camera a lot, there might be a better option available.
In good light, you get fantastic reproduction and the HDR mode can on occasion make that even better. In lower light, the LED gave us pleasing results though it was unable to match the intensity of the light on the Samsung Galaxy S3. That said, few phones have been able to.
In low light, the Nexus 4 really doesn't perform well, and while HDR mode on the Galaxy S3 or iPhone 5 is strong enough to fix these situations, the Nexus isn't blessed with the same skill; in fact, it usually comes out totally blurred.
We'd press it three or four times and nothing would happen, then it would take several snaps in succession. Normally, we'd assume that was because the handset had frozen but the Nexus 4's viewfinder was still moving about. THe issue resolved itself with an update, but compared to the competition the Nexus 4 remains painfully slow at snapping and focusing.

Hey Guys still in-between either sticking with the S3 or keeping the Nexus 4. Battery life is nowhere near as good as the S3 although I heard the google effed up the 4.2.1 update for the nexus range causing battery issues and other bugs. Apparently they have finished testing out there new 4.2.2 update which fixes all of that and should be going life mid-end of February.
4.2.2 is also supposed to be the last Jelly Bean update as afterwards in around May time they will bring out Key-lime Pie!

Many people asked about the comma situation and I hate swiftkeys so hope it helps :smiley:
As for the beanflinger, after you tapped on it and the big bean comes up with a Smiley face hold your finger down on him and it'll take you to an mini game/interactive wallpaper... nothing special but looks pretty cool and you can use it in the daydream function, I though it was cool anyway ha

Thanks for the comma tip, genius!
I thought you were having a wind up about the beanflinger and felt slightly foolish as I tapped 3 times in the screen but he appeared! What changes will I see? I don't have my charger with me and I'm impatient!
My battery loses about 5% overnight whilst switched on. Must admit the battery life improves with use but I also have Juice Defender installed. Put it on as soon as I got the phone so I can't say whether it has definitely improved anything but could be worth a try?

Many of you may find this useful:
Swipe down from the top of any screen with TWO fingers
Click settings
Scroll down to Personal - press language & input
Under keyboards & input methods click on the icon next to "Android keyboard" which will open settings for it
Scroll down to "voice input key" and click on it
Select "on symbols keyboards"
And TA-DAAAA! Now you have a comma in place of where the mic should be and your mic button for voice typing will be on the second keyboard page!
Another note - Go to settings > about phone > Android/software version & tap on it three times
You will now find the beanflinger "easter egg" and have now unlocked it as a DayDream function which can be used when the phone is docked or charging :')

Who got the 8GB version? How are you dealing with it? I still have second thoughts about the storage
for now I have wifi and unlimited data so can stream music and videos, upload pictures to the cloud etc.
from 5.6GB
0.5GB (maximum for apps)
0.5GB (offline music from google play, about 80 tracks)
that leaves me with 4.6 GB
The problem is the video part, a 1080p takes 90MB/min
I think it's doable but there's always "what if" situation
what do you all think? Is the 40£ extra worth it?

I had an S2 and the Nexus 4 is a big upgrade from that phone. Most noticibly so far in the processor speed, screen and camera.
I wouldn't pay much attention to reviews because for one as someone has already mentioned they rarely take in to account real world use and secondly you don't how impartial these reviews really are. I've that while reading review on the S3 vs Nexus 4 most reviewers seem really desperate to try and show that the S3 is a better phone and treat the Nexus 4 somewhat harshly. It's almost if they are afraid of something.

Im in the process its long and drawn out.
You need to fill out their return form and they email you an RMA doc to print off.

Then you have to contact the courier to pick the item up.

Unless you want touchwiz features or expandable memory, it isn't worth it. In terms of real world use, I doubt you will notice any difference at all, especially if you say reviews say the S3 is better as, the N4 is about as smooth as I have seen any phone, including iOS and handles videos and multitasking with aplomb. So even if the S3 is "better" I am not sure you would notice the difference.

is it possible to cancel the order? i've ordered an 8gb but changed my mind and want a 16gb
Warnoq
10 Feb 131#1894
Most areas? Theres a lot of area's in which the Nexus 4 excels for example it has twice the amount of RAM, It has next gen CPU & GPU architectures meaning they run better and effectively give that bit more power, they also have stock android and no samsung bloatware and the first phone to get new android updates for its life span. The screen is IPS even if it is 0.1 inch smaller than the SGS3. It has gorilla glass 2 on both front and back of the phone (Yes, the SGS3 has it on the screen). The Nexus 4 has DC-HSDPA rather than LTE which is near on 80% the speed of 4G LTE and basically no extra cost (dependant on network of course).
Personally the only things I believe the SGS3 has over the N4 are:
The albeit extra 0.1 inch of screen (worth twice the price?)
A removable battery (Is that really all that amazing?) And yes and SD card slot/memory options
That last of which can be a deal breaker for some but hey, I've got everything I need on my phone and still got 4Gb left, thats with the 8Gb model!
At the end of the day, only you can decide but I don't believe those little features are worth over £100 more at all and I know a lo of people have gone from the SGS2 like you and said its bloody amazing...

The best you can do is go to 'widgets' then scroll all the way to the end and choose 'settings shortcut' then when you place it on your homescreen it'll ask which settings you want to shorcut to so choose 'Data usage'
EDIT: This will allow you to go to the data usage page when you click on the widget and this has a mobile data switch at the very top
As pointed out above the shortcut on you had on your old phone would be due to the fact its part of 'HTC Sense' .. I too upgraded from an EVO 3D, bloody amazing in comparison right?!

It doesnt last 3-4 hours.. more like 3-4 hours screen time and 1-2 days battery time. My battery lasts me two days and Ive always thought I was a constant user. God knows what people are doing on their phones if it lasts less than a day.
That is the digitizer. It has been moved as close as possible to the front of the screen to get the best touchscreen responsiveness
Exactly what I did with my EVO 3D and got this for £40 :')
Not that I like apple but honest can't see you regretting this if you bought it, its fantastic and for less than half the price of an iPhone 5... Take a punt, can guarantee you'll love it!

Personally i've heard rumours about poor battery life but not proof and yet i've seen SCREENSHOTS of people going 1.5/2 days on battery... I myself have had the phone since Monday and it came with 82% battery and since then have only had to charge once so I really don't know what people are complaining about. Its got far more battery life than any iPhone I have used, more so than the SGS3 and far more than my previous HTC but it does seem strange people are reporting bad batteries, Im just going to assume they're 'fake/false' accusations

Truthfully and not from a bias point of view I am yet to find any issues besides the fact it doesn't come with a manual making it hard to learn all the tips, tricks, gestures and shortcuts but quick google search will show you how. Quality issues? this is by far the best build quality I have ever seen tbh... far better than HTC and I'm a hardcore lover of them ha.
As for cases, I bought the Rearth Ringke Slim after looking at reviews online, downside is they come from USA which can take a while but I bought 3 and sold the other 2 on that auction site for the same price I got all 3 for, making mine free (and they sold like hot cakes, both within 4 hours of listing!) Either way, worth while checking out a video review :smiley:

Standby time is great, only discharged about 10% in 12 hours of deep sleep. But screen time is poor, so if you're actually on your phone for most of the time you'll only get 3-4 hours.

Well all I can say larder is hang on in there! It's a great phone and I'm more than happy with it (now I've eventually got my hands on one!)

Same here. The one I ordered on 30 Jan is still pending and Google will do **** all til 13 Feb. So I ordered another one on Weds 6 Feb and it arrived at 1.00 pm yesterday, 26 hours later! Have checked and had confirmed that all I need to do if and when the original order ships is refuse delivery & the money will be credited back to my card. Should also mention that, even if your work takes delivery, as long as the package is unopened you have 5 days to return it and they will still treat it as "refused delivery" I have an e-mail from Google CS stating this and can post it if it helps.

Anyone who ordered on the 30th still waiting for their phone to arrive.... or am I the only mug remaining? :-(
No more pending transactions from google on my credit card (and no the funds haven't fully cleared either).
What on earth is Google up to?!
Don't want to Cancel the order as I I'm having the order shipped to work and they won't deal rejecting the delivery.
Very frustrating!

I need to sell my second one too - did you get paid the full A grade price for yours? And Cex actually processed and sent payment for it within two days?
wolvesinwales
8 Feb 13#1820
Created an online order to CEX last Thursday night and posted to them this Wednesday using an overnight service (not TNT!) so was right on the limit of 5 working days price promise but received an email this morning saying payment has been sent to my bank.
PS I'm not a greedy prospector, i ordered one of each but then realised by ordering seperately I had paid double postage so reordered on one order with the intention of cancelling the first two but as previously posted on here it was too late to cancel an order even within half an hour of making the order.
Very pleased with the phone much better battery life than my Evo 3d.

bigpappa

So CEX in 2 days have gone from £344 to £273 to now £253.
Selling it for initially £405 to now £375
If you have original email confirming price and they honour quoted for 5 days then they have to bite the bullet. But easiest for them is to simply reject it and send it back.
Rossmor40

Yeah no problems with the battery for me either. I have 86% left after 12hrs 2mins. Light use with texts been sent and received, a couple of short phone calls and checking emails and Facebook. I am running Juice defender which seems to help massively.
Shaunyf
7 Feb 13#1813
No worries... I doubt that they'd risk taking this kind of action. Trading Standards would be interested if they started playing those games. They know that they stopped the tap running on Tuesday evening and are likely to chalk it up poor processes. Most likely CEX have already estimated the loss in terms of the number of orders taken and currently outstanding and someone no-doubt will get fired over it. They're probably looking at least an £18k loss on this line. The N4s value will probably drop like a stone because of the whole farce that google & LG have made of it. Having said that it was an interesting way to drum up interest in a product.
Warnoq

The offer was there mate why not take it?
I agree if the product, like last time was only available for a couple of days then fair enough its out of order selling it on but everyone had an equal opportunity to take advantage of the offer so why not...
zermattbusby
7 Feb 13#1806
Did the same checked mine in on-line Tuesday night, packed it all up ready to send today.
But... bottled out in the end lol Just think CeX have lost a load of cash over this and will do anything to stop it going any further. I mean they only have to open it up and say oh look the glass is broke, there's a dint in the side etc and there's not a lot you could do.
Just don't think its worth taking the risk for forty odd quid tbh,
sivkai
7 Feb 13#1805
Hopefully the people selling to CEX are refused the £344 and the learn the mistakes of their greedy ways. It would be a bonus if the Nexus 4 becomes out of stock and you are left with no device at all.
Shaunyf
7 Feb 13#1804
Sold to CEX online on Tuesday evening for £344. I have the order number and email confirming that the price would be honoured for 5 days. I posted it today on next day courier with a copy of the email and the delivery note from google. In theory it's a valid sales contract. They might squirm a little though, in view of the large drop in the latest valuation.

Mine came charged at 78%, I charged it up fully before turning on but first day the whole charge went in about 3 hours....although I was using it fairly heavily. I turned off and charged overnight and yesterday it discharged at a fairly constant 5% an hour (light usuage...a bit of browing, a few calls and texts). Turned off and charged overnight again and at the moment it is still showing 80% with much the same usuage so it looks like for some people it takes a few changes before you get good battery life.
Warnoq

Mine wasnt fully charged either, mine came at 82%... only charged mine once (needs full charge to encrypt) since I got it money... battery far surpasses my EVO 3D so idk why people are having problems :/

Has anyone filled in the on-line order and posted an N4 to CeX since the price dropped?
Working on the proviso : CeX will honour price quotes for 5 working days from time of order.

No comparison, they are different devices aimed at different markets.
If you're only going to have one device a note fits the bill, if you have a tablet then an N4 is a nice compliment.

From watching the thread there was a 'batch' of deliveries yesterday for orders. Ranged from order dates on the 1st feb to 3-4 feb I think. Yours probably be in the next batch whenever its due. I didn't get my tracking info until the early hours 1-3am in the morning of the delivery. My delivery had no tracking info except it said out for delivery at 6am.

7 Feb 13#1795
Spoke to TNT, they said a consignment reference (I guess this is the delivery confirmation email) is required in order to process any queries. They did however search on my postcode to see if there are any outstanding deliveries/orders, but nothing showing up. So I can only guess the first order on the 30th is non existent. Lets hope I get the delivery confirmation for the latest order soon....:smiley:

I called TNT and apparently they had tried to deliver 3 times Friday/ Monday and another mysterious day ( I had asked for a re-delivery on Monday night for today ) after my second "not at home note" as someone could stay at home and recieve delivery.
Phoned this morning to make sure and it has already been sent back to google !!
Bah.
Ordered another this morning for delivery to work - which of course will arrive when I am at home.
I just want a new phooone. This nokia 5880 is a bit on the slow side./

Thanks FoxyG, I will give TNT a call shortly to see if they can locate my latest order. Similar to yourself be interesting to hear whether they have any recollection of the old cancelled order!
FoxyG
7 Feb 13#1791
If you've got a cancellation e-mail from Google confirming the order is cancelled I think you should be safe. I found TNT Customer Service were really helpful when I was trying to track my original order; they did a check for me using my name and postcode. They were the one's who confirmed that the original order had never reached them. They told me that often they get the package long before Google send a shipping e-mail, so it might be worth giving them a call on 0800 100 600. Hope you get a delivery soon!

My money came out tonight for one that arrived on Monday. Strangely two came together and the money for the other came out on Monday.
Now I just have to get them to take it back because their stupid system wouldn't let me cancel an order before it shipped and two came together - one signature - but I still got charged for postage twice. I really wanted a 16gb but it kept failing to order properly so I ended up with two 8gb ones. I even cancelled within the hour but it still didn't work. Arrgh!!

I cancelled my order from the 30th and got an acknowledgement e-mail (looks like the one I ordered today should arrive tomorrow!!) You just need to be aware that the original order may still arrive at some time and that means they will take the money, again, from your account as and when it's shipped. Got this info from Google CS via the phone earlier today. They told me all I had to do was refuse delivery of the original order by either contacting TNT when I get the shipping e-mail to say "don't deliver" or leaving a signed note on the door stating you are refusing delivery or, obviously if your at home, telling the driver you are refusing delivery. When it gets back to Google they will credit the money back into your account.

Tracking numbers get reused. That was probably a past order. Your details will appear eventually.

I have generally noticed with any smartphone that you have to give it 3 or 4 days wearing in before trying to judge the battery life. Although it could just be because you stop picking the phone up every 5mins and turning the screen on.

Got mine :smiley: I reserved the price online at CEX yesterday but I got my extra £50 from store last week, think I will just keep this one. Very impressed with the phone after my few hours of play time :smiley:
Got the phone at about 1pm, battery was at 70%. Maxed out brightness, set all connections to on, downloading and TVCatchup over WiFi, and battery finally died at just gone 4pm. Charging now, not sure if the battery drain / conditioning is necessary with new battery tech but can't hurt, so far under heavy use 3 hours seems about right. Briefly tested camera and pictures seem similar in quality to my iPhone 4S, although admittedly the 4S seems to have slightly better detail.
Still happy with the phone though :smiley:

Dealt last night at £344 with CEX. The email states that they will honour this price for up to five days. I'm sure they'll want to reduce the payout having just worked out they we're paying £55 over the retail price - lets see. I wasn't intending to do it for profit; I had issues with 1) the camera (weird image jump on rotation and poor quality), 2) the battery life when the screen is adequately illuminated is poor and 3) I kept getting dropped and weak WIFI connections on my router & AP / repeater. On the whole it just didn't feel a useable as my 4S which is approaching 18moth old technology . It looks like its an S3 for me.

"No restocking fees will be charged for devices purchased in and shipped to the European Union or Australia."
I believe Google will send a courier to pick it up for free and even refund your £9.99 shipping.
Edit: actually maybe not the shipping part since you bought 2.

Took mine into CEX yesterday, they agreed £344 but had no cash, said is it OK to pay into your account via BACS within 3 days, I said yes. Said they would test later on this afternoon and call if any problems. No call so presumed all OK.
Just had phone call this morning saying price is now £273 and do I still want to go ahead. Gave the geek full barrels saying no I will only accept the £344 that was agreed yesterday. I even asked the kid in the store that is this price confirmed at todays rate and he said yes. They are ringing me back, Wonder if when the units in stock reached 300 that the price automatically dropped? was 231 when I took it in. Took a screengrab of site saying £344 too.

For those looking to sell their Nexus 4 and based in London - I sold my Nexus 4 16GB (brand new in Box) to the BASEO shop in Camden for £350 yesterday :smile:
BASEO (website here) have 3 shops in Camden, Tott Court Road and Lewisham - I'd def recommend trying them out!

No mine is nothing like that. It lasts about a day I would say, fine for me as I am usually near a power supply. I don't use Juice Defender.
Received mine yesterday (ordered on Sunday 3rd Feb, impressed!) despite saying I would never buy an LG again having had a an LG Optimus 2X (great for rooting and stuff...but hard work and immensely frustrating at times, though miss some of the functions on CM10!!!). Hopefully the official updates will be better than my previous experiences! I'm glad I opted for the 16gb version as it's filling it up fast.
Has anyone managed to get an OTG micro USB cable working? A quick google states that it may be a hardware issue.

Yeah, have to forego the Cex option now. Re brightness, keeping it on auto brightness as well as using juice defender, turning off nfc, locations, etc did not help me at all. Done a factory reset now and lets c what happens....
kylewalker
6 Feb 13#1705
yes the battery does go quite quickly but most of it goes on brightening that great screen. turn the brightness down and you should be fine. currently got mine on automatic brightness and will see how the battery lasts on that.

Yes bubble has burst. But it was an arbitrage opportunity.

CEX were still offering the £344 price this morning at 0530 so brought my unopened phone into work to nip into CEX and bag myself an extra £50 before buying another, damn good offer while it lasted..... Can open the box now to marvel at the cheap technology and major bargain anyway..... OK time to find a case for it.....

I ordered and cancelled within the hour followed by another order. I kept trying to buy the 16gb but it failed so I tried the 8gb which worked.
Then 3 orders showed on my Play account but 2 on wallet. One was shown as sent out on Sunday with the others still saying 13th Feb. I tried contacting them and using every cancel link/self cancel page but they wouldn't help. Refuse delivery is all I got. Monday morning two arrived togther. One signature for both and as I wasnt there to argue I came home to two.
Then the hold on my cc and bank account (I tried both to see if one would work for the 16gb) came off and Google still haven't taken the money.
No doubt they will but if CEX really give you a bit more for one, or even the same amount I'll sell one to them to save sending it back and losing out on postage both ways i.e. approx £20.

thanks for that, im used to HTC which is hold down the power and press home... Silly me

Anyone else know of any tricks/tips?

I must say I'm pleased with my battery life thus far. It seems exceptional when it's locked (screen off obv.), loses like 1% an hour. I played Temple Run 2 for about 35 mins and I lost about 15%, which is not too bad I guess.
I think you need to wait a week or so for your battery to come alive, with plenty of full charges and complete shut downs.
Hope it improves for you! If you think it's a dud take it town to CeX :wink:

5 Feb 13#1674
Its okay, in the middle of sending back a faulty nexus 10 had to chase them for the shipping label from TNT to send it back to them, had to fill in quite some stuff before sending it back. No where near as good as amazon for returns but it does the job.

I wish it had a romoverable battery as i'd just by a high capacity anker battery instead but it don't so trying to work out if i can fix it or if i got a dud. Still have not made up my mind to keep it yet and this aint helping. May CEX it and get another of the play store as ordered seem to be progressing quicker now.
Genuinely not had a problem, although I dont have a sim in it yet... its been on wifi for over 12 hours, plus light play on it last night... bare in mind i havent charged it once yet and upon taking it out the box it had 86%. been playing about on it with youtube and twitter for the past 12 hours on and off (always connected to wifi) and I now have 51% battery... seems real good to me?

5 Feb 13#1665
Had the same problem until recently. Received mine yesterday, had a play loaded up some apps etc. This morning I left it at home to get a full charge, came back and had a look on facebook etc and within 15 minutes to 88% from full - even was decreasing rapidly whilst locked and idle.
The solution? I turned it off fully for the first time by holding the power button. Left it 30 secs, powered it back on and voila. Since then played a few bits of music on it as well as light browsing and the battery hasn't dropped at all, not even 1% yet. Hope this helps or works for you!

To all those people that ordered on the 30th and haven't yet received their phones (me included!)... Google must have put a hold on the funds on our credit cards. That hold on the funds only lasts 7 days. I wonder if Google's order processing department will spring to life and check the order status and get the order dispatched before the hold expires, or as part of renewing the hold on the funds.
Wishful thinking maybe??

Linking your Nexus device to your Google account during purchasing
When purchasing a Nexus device from Google Play, you'll notice a 'Link this device to my Google account' checkbox appear in your cart just prior to checkout. When you link a Nexus device to your Google account, we'll automatically send your name and username to the device when you first power it on. You'll just need to input your Google account password to get started.

Well I finally received a tracking email today at lunchtime. The parcel was out for delivery today but missed it as the email arrived too late for someone to be in. Turns out it was dispatched on 2nd Feb but no emails or updates on Google wallet about it until today. It's getting re delivered tomorrow and i've got my new GiffGaff micro sim all ready. No mincing about cutting to size here.
A really bad experience shopping with Google due to all the problems so won't be buying from them again. Now I know why Apple charge such high prices as they obviously put a lot of money into customer service. Google have a lot to learn if they want to compete long term.

received the 16gb one today. Looks like i will have to return it as playstore won't open everytime (get a timed out connection) on home wi-fi and it's just really slow for updating/downloading apps, viewing vids in youtube, loading pages etc..
did the update to 4.2.1, called google support (rubbish) and followed theIR 'clear cache', 'factory reset' to no avail.

Signed a form and walked out with cash...

For those that are experiencing poor battery life you must have a faulty unit. I've had mine for 2 weeks now and it easily gets me though the day with a fair amount of usage, and there's never been less than 40% battery remaining when I charge it up before bed. It's great phone. Regarding the camera, I've done a side-by-side check with my son's S3 and there's good and bad. The vanilla Android has none of the bloatware that's on the Samsung.

5 Feb 13#1607
Also, I think anyone who compares this to other phones like the Galaxy S3 need to realize that the S3 is over £400 SIM free - the Nexus may not best it in all areas in comparison, but it comes pretty close and it is over a third cheaper. You really have to weigh up whether the the better camera, removable battery and expandable memory are worth the extra £100. Compared to other mid range phones like the iPhone 4 and Galaxy S2, this is much more powerful and futureproof (aside from the lack of 4G)
m.ad
5 Feb 13#1606
I did - I opened the box and powered it on, inserted SIM, connected to WiFi during initial setup wizard, but it was asking me to log in with Google details, so it didn't appear that anything was pushed to the phone. Took the risk and traded it in.

5 Feb 13#1605
Did any of you people who have taken into CEX chose the 'Link this device to my Google account' checkbox when you ordered it. If you didn't take it out of the box when taking it into the store would it not provide your username and email to the eventual buyer of the phone?
mattchester
5 Feb 13#1604
Finally ordered one!
Been debating all week whether to get one to replace my aging iphone 4.
Might aswell order now, while the second hand prices at cex/ebay are decent. Then if I am not happy with it, then it can be sold without much/if any loss.
Then again, I will not get a phone with anywhere near the specs of this for this cheap price
Looked at the TNT guy's booking sheet and there were loads being delivered to the same building (multi-company office building).
Will check with dad if he wants it again, if not, off to CEX.

When i took mine in on Friday (Well one of mine :wink: ) they had it for just under 1 hour and confirmed it was grade A. I also took the delivery note to prove it was sim free.

I would be one of the guys that doesn't recommend GiffGaff, their 3G signal is pretty poor but saying that It could just be in my area. However for 90p more per month, you can go with Three getting the same tariff but with access to new 3G technology which is over twice as fast! (this is a rolling contract, you will need a debit card but no credit check)

I think the N4 is cracking value for money and I'm really pleased with it, and I'm hoping the android updates will resolve most of the things I'm not so keen on.
I have a question regarding apps - under my running apps I have various things like Facebook, Maps, My Vodafone etc. So are these constantly running? It says if I stop them the app will fail - what does this mean? I've switched off mobile data as I'm near my limit so I'm not sure what they're doing when they're "running"

Think I may CEX my Nexus 4. Really like the phone but too many drawbacks, screen quality better on S3, photos much better on S3. Battery life dreadful on Nexus 4 with no removerable battery. Storage is to restrictive for my needs. Haptic feedback much better on S3. Things I like about nexus 4, beautiful looking, feels great, very quick, decent screen, decent audio, will receive latest android updates 1st!
What are your experiences?

Agh, can't decode between this and the iphone 5. Sounds stupid given this is half the price. But I've a lot of money spent on apps in the app store and like not having to send my phone of if it's faulty.

I ordered a 16GB one at around 6.30 on 31 January. Got it about an hour ago....unlike many people on here I found TNT to be very helpful. I managed to get the direct line to the Reading depot and the warehouse manager actually phoned me at home yesterday evening to confirm it would be delived to my work this morning. Have been staring at the box for the last hour, must resist temptation to start fiddling!

You only get the headphones if you take out a 24 month contract :disappointed:
bigpappa
5 Feb 13#1573
I think the £299 rrp on those headphones is fanciful. The Xperia will cost £450 plus £10 top up plus £15 to unlock for a grand total of £475.
Now it all depends how much you can sell the Sony Headphones for. I suspect it's nearer £100 so it will cost you circa £375. The headphones are £180 at Amazon.

My screen is only using 26%, Android System 14%, Phone Idle 9%. Brightness is on auto.
Have you downloaded Juice Defender from the app store? I put it on straight away so can't say if it's improved but I'm getting much more battery life than you. If you like the phone then Google will exchange it if they can't fix it over the phone. But if you're not happy with it and would rather have the Sony then it's a good excuse to return it (or you could CEX it as other have and have a bit more to go towards your Sony)

Battery is awful. Dont even lasting for more than 3 hours on minimal use. Planning to send it back.
Will order Xperia Z for £450 on Three and sell the Sony headphones for £150 at least, which makes the handset cost around £300 which will be a good buy...

You can't cancel or amend an order after an hour has passed since your order. In the first hour you can. Not even customer services would amend or cancel it when I called them and spoke to them, they said they can't do anything either. If you ordered too many, just refuse delivery. It will be returned to them and they will refund you.
I ordered 31st. Got the dispatch email with tracking today. Shame I won't be around to receive it...

Ordered my second Nexus Saturday Afternoon - and shipped out today got the tracking number is out on the van.
I have been using Google checkout now Wallet since 2007 maybe that is why my orders have been processed swiftly.
do remember having a couple of issues with my card being blocked when I started using Google call up your credit/debit cards and check the status if the payment has been blocked.

5 Feb 13#1552
I would suggest you do apply a screen protector and get the best case there is. Having dropped mine out of my trouser pocket and it failed the "drop test", any one of these cases will be much cheaper than a new screen replacement that has been estimated at £100+

Oh dear I had no intention of selling to Cex but the price of the Z dropped £75 so why not.
And as for it being inferior don't make me lol please :smile:

Pretty disappointing to see people buy the Nexus 4 only to 'CEX' it...way to abuse the system.

Do you need to take the Google receipt into cex or is it just identification ? If I was to get £344 for it i would only need to put another £100 towards a Sony Xperia Z.......

Anyone have UTi as the courier? They never seemed to track for me with my Nexus 10. I'm in Northern Ireland and Google went for them rather than TNT for some reason.

for those who want to root and unlock bootloader heres step by step tutorial going to attempt myself now
I tried to cancel my order but was told the same as you. Have since had seemingly random changes in shipment status when tracking jumping from - in transit - recd at depot - out for delivery - in transit - recd at depot - failed delivery - recd at depot = out for delivery - recd at depot - then had a card through the door today saying i missed delivery of 3 orders.
Hopefully will now receive them tomorrow.
Ive checked credit card and only been charged for 2 out of 4 so far.

1) very debatable, GG1 is brilliant and this is Gorilla Glass 2, besides screen protectors cause a lot of friction compared to the glass
2) Try looking at the Rearth Ringke Slim

Ordered the evening of the 1st, nothing at the moment.
Annoyingly I clicked 'cancel order' about 12 hours after I placed it (was going to put it on another card - not fussed really though and am still happy to pay for it with the card I placed the order on), but got an email instantly telling me they were unable to cancel the order, but that still leaves me in a bit of doubt as to whether it was *actually* cancelled and that is the reason i've not received any shipping emails (although it is still very early days).
Has anyone who tried to cancel the order received their phone?

A similar story myself. Nexus arrived today unexpectedly but still no email stating it had shipped. Site shows 13 Feb like many others. I've not got my hands on it yet as it shipped to my parents, but my father tells me the shipping note says dispatched 31st for next day delivery.

Fair point! TBH my old Desire HD came with headphones and they had pretty good sound quality and like you said it came with a in line controller. But I guess for the low cost of the Nexus 4 can you complain???

Ordered my last Friday (1st Feb) at 15:30. Just went and picked it from local depot as TNT "attempted delivery" (lies, was in at time and my flat overlooks car park from main road and nothing). So ordering from a Friday afternoon to getting it Monday evening is pretty good.
My general consensus is from the whole process is that TNT are the ones at fault. Google must have dispatched it pretty rapidly for it to make it to my area for today, they should have picked a more reputable courier. One thing that I was not happy about is from Google is the distinct lack of packaging. Came in a jiffy bag about 4 sizes too big, lined with bubble wrap, that had a hole in from being in the van, corners of the Nexus box were a bit scruffy from just rattling about.

Anyone thinking of selling to CEX, make sure you go to the store and sell it because if you sell it via the website and post it, they take soooooooo long to pay you, last time i sold them a s3, posted on 5th january and payment was made on 26th.

Having issues with TNT. They said they'd attempted to deliver it today but they haven't. I've been in all day waiting for them.

Factory reset has sorted camera issues - still to test fully though.
Had a text from Vodafone to say I've used my 500MB allowance in 2 days :confused: Only downloaded 30 apps (as part of factory reset), turned off location services, mainly using wifi too so heaven knows how I've used so much. In fact that's just today as I checked my usage and at 3am I hadn't used any data (only 2 days since bill). Barely touched the phone today as I'm at work. Something doesn't seem right?

Further to my previous post, my order is still showing as pending and I haven't received a dispatch email from Google. I've just returned from work to find that TNT have attempted to deliver a package. I've had to re-arrange the delivery for another date. It seems there is still some hope of receiving the phone before 13th Feb even without any updates from Google.

They can't send cash if you send via post. That means they'd have to post cash out, which no-one would insure. If you sell it to them online, you get money via bacs, cheque or Paypal.
And that is ridiculous. They're going to make a massive loss.

So my status is in preordered since I ordered on 30th at 4pm and just I've got off the phone from google play. He said they are just waiting on more stock to ship, and said they are being shipped on a first come first serve basis. When I questioned how comes others had received phones ordering hours and days after me he couldn't comment. Absolute joke service, advisors don't have a clue and i'm just left in limbo.

people moaning about their order not being delivered, leave it out... if they don't deliver within the promised 1-2 week window, then complain. Until then you look a little petty IMO.
And FYI, I ordered in the December batch, to only wait 7 weeks, chased them for an update on my delivery to be told that my order had been cancelled.

Weyland
4 Feb 13#1401
Sorry to hear about evryone's delays, but can I just add that if like me you didn't realise that this used a micro SIM, or think your existing phone already has one when it doesn't (!), it might be worth looking into ordering one from your provider so you are ready to use this when it lands.
Mine arrived Friday but I quickly discovered I did not have a micro SIM - fortunately I was able to get one from Orange quickly so managed to get up and running yesterday.
The phone is worth the wait, so hang in there.

In the same way you've no idea what might have happened with your order that meant the automated systems either de-prioritised it or put it on hold for some reason. Or the fact that the ordering system knows that it has up to 2 weeks to ship everyones orders and still hit the target it gave the end user at the point of purchase. But yeah your point is valid, stamping your feet is always the best idea

Ordered on the 30th at 6pm, order as been pending ever since, the money was ringfenced (available and actual balance different) from my account pretty much straight away, then the order date changed to the 1st Feb, just received shipping confirmation this morning, checked tnt and it's out for delivery today!
On the tnt website it says that the parcel was collected on the 1st Feb, so I wonder if everyone who's order date changed that to the 1st is actually the date tnt received the parcel?

Im sorry but the responce you have sent me is not satisfactory at all. The shipping estimate has always been 1-2 weeks as soon as the device came on to the google play store at 3pm on the 30th how can it be that others who have orderd a full day after me with the same 1-2 weeks shipping esitmate have had their orders processed and shipped almost straight away? I find it highly rude that you should insult my intelegence by saying that those who ordered later managed to push the shipping estimate of those who ordered first to 1-2 weeks.
I would like you to escalate my order as a priority as soon as possible as it seems based on peoples information all over the internet that the processing system is working backwards with orders being processed from most recent to oldest.
My experience, read bottom before the top.
Please don't take my email personally but understand that I'm very frustrated with there not being a first come first served ordering system.
Best Regards
Mark

Hello Mark,
Thank you for contacting Google, I understand how frustrating it is to see people all around you who were lucky enough to get their orders in before the wave of orders came in and have pushed orders to the 1-2 week status.
Orders are shipped based on the estimate in your order confirmation email. Once an order has been processed you'll receive a second ship confirmation email, after which it will take an additional two business days for your order to be delivered.
Upon receiving your shipping confirmation email, you'll be given a TNT tracking number that will assist you in determining your package's estimated delivery date. You can track your delivery by providing this tracking number at http://www.tnt.com/express/en_gb/site/home.html.html
If there is anything I can assist you with just respond back to this email or visit our help center: http://support.google.com/googleplay/?hl=en&topic=2803002&rd=1
Sincerely,.

If you got quoted 1-2 weeks, you should wait until the 2 weeks is up before going all out complaining. I was in the bunch last time at Christmas so I understand the frustration of other people getting theirs first. I was in the 1-2 week group last time and had to face 5-6 weekers getting theirs first, at least everyone's been quoted 1-2 weeks this time. In the end, I got mine within the quoted time, albeit literally on the very last day, so I realised that I probably should have just saved all the frustration. I recommend everyone to stop reading this thread, then wait until your 2 weeks is up before coming back on here to check on the situation if you still haven't got yours. This thread sometimes does more bad than good IMO.

I'm the same with the N4 coming from a S2, initially disappointed that it wasn't such a big step up that I thought It'd be.
The stock messaging and dialler is oh so bland, press the power button and you don't get the reboot etc, unlike the S2 multi options, although I do like the N4 it just seems lacking. I just might need to put more time into it.

Thats completely besides the point, I was fully prepared to wait 1-2 weeks in line with EVERYBODY else... the complaint is the simple fact people who have ordered afterwards, have already got their devices when we were all told 1-2 weeks, If you don't see that as wrong, unprofessional or unfair then there's something certainly wrong in your head.
Need I say, please don't take that as an insult

The S3 has a better camera more features too.
Can see me selling the Nexus for the S4 when it arrives.

After using it a few days I'm surprised at the missing features compared to my S3.No multi view,no camera burst mode, no in built video calling.Maybe key lime pie will offer more when that arrives.

I wasn't referring to any 4-5 quid cases, I was referring to a specific one, posted in this thread somewhere with a review by someone on XDA which was good. BDW your comment about ports not being accessible/not fitting is simply untrue, I used a 1.99 s line case while waiting for my leather one to arrive and it fit perfectly, and this is not subjective, just have to read reviews on Amazon.

not much difference? besides the most important thing, actually fit and functionality... I guarantee you that any 4-5 quid one will have problems such as not fitting exactly or ports not being accessible, theres a reason they're unbranded, Rearth seems by far the best

This is what I sent to Dan Cobley via google+ today,
3rd Feb 2013
Dear Dan Cobley:
I apologies for escalating my complaint to your level, but my recent unfortunate experience with your company’s customer service teams has left me no recourse but write to you directly regarding this.
As a committed and loyal customers of Google Play, I am totally frustrated by the level of services that I was provided when I ordered the Google Nexus 4 phone last Wednesday. When the Google Nexus 4 phone was back in stock on last Wednesday, me as one of the loyal users of Google products, were among the earliest to order this phone via Google Play. I received an order confirmation and expect the phone to deliver as soon as possible. However, on Friday/Saturday I’ve realized from the internet that a large number of customers who had ordered hours or days later than me have had their phone delivered within 24-48 hours. Yet my order are still in pending with an estimated ship date in mid Feb, and I believe a large number of Google customers are experiencing the same frustrated issue as me.
From what I understand from a customer perspective, orders should be processed and fulfilled in a first come first serve basis, I do not mind if my phone is late as I understand Google’s product are general of huge demand, but what I do mind is the simple first come first serve principle is being obeyed in this instance. This makes me feel that I am treated in a very unfair and unprofessional manner by Google. In addition, I feel completely lack of communication during the process, my enquiries to the Google customer service have provided a less than satisfactory response.
I expected a much higher level of service from your company, and I am quite disappointed. More Google search shows that the issue was concerned by a number of Google customers last November but it looks like it still doesn’t get properly addressed this time. I appreciate your time to read my complaint and I really hope that you can have someone envisage the issue.
Yours Sincerely,
name
Nexus 4 order number:xxx

Email CS is pointless they will only repond with the same response ie they don't know what is going on. Calling them won't be mcuh different.
The head og Google Play in the UK should be fired -it's as simple as that unless heads roll and someone takes ownership of this issue nothing will change for the better.

Same sort of reply I got regarding processing time however my bank told me the payment processed right away so someone's telling lies as there has been people on this thread saying they have got their phones and no payment has been taken yet. if their banks has processed the payment faster it would be showing in their accounts right now. I think basically Google just have a stupid ordering system and they are just making excuses. It's not been a great experience ordering from Google so I won't be doing it again. Say what you like about Apple but their customer service(in their shops anyway) is 100 times better than Google.
shareef
3 Feb 13#1288
My point wasn't really that it is third party hence bad, but that usually third party cases are cheaper not more expensive then official ones. Compared to the 4-5 quid one posted earlier, there is not much of a difference.

E-mailed google to ask 2 questions, why later orders were being delivered before first orders, and why orders are being changed from 30th Jan to 1st Feb. Just got a generic e-mail back that my order is due in the 13th. Not answering my question, I replied asking for answers to the 2 questions again. Plus the fact that we're all being charged for 1-2 days delivery and later orders are actually receiving this service, whereas others are still being made to wait 2 weeks, and this is what I got;
"Hi Dookie,
Thanks for contacting us. I'm unable to share details or comment on other customer's orders. I want to assure you that it is our goal to deliver orders in the order they are received.
If there is anything else I can assist you with please let me know by directly replying to this email or by visiting our help center.
Thanks,
Brittany
Google Play Team"
Still no answers... May have to reply again.

It is expensive, but I don't see why it matters that it's 'third party'. Rearth has made a lot of cases and is well known in the US, they've just never directly sold them to the UK. I'd happily pay for this over the 'official' bumper any day.
steve019
3 Feb 13#1283
Do you have GPS on? That seemed to be enabled by default and if you're using it for location services them google now is just going to drain your battery, as well as everything else.
How about email? How often does it check? You may find tweaking lots of the settings might end up in giving you a huge gain, and those tweaks are against things you don't really care about.
greencode
3 Feb 13#1282
That's just it, I'm not playing with it much at all. I've just turned off NFC so we'll see how that goes. It's one of those times where you wish you had two of the same phone to see if I've actually got a faulty unit.
steve019
3 Feb 13#1281
Are you constantly playing with it? I've had a good day so far out of a full charge with normal use. I could see the screen draining the battery quite fast though. Plus I've been on wi fi most of the time too.
I turned NFC off as it isn't needed, tweaked a few of the sync settings to my liking too. Currently I'm on 24 hours since the last charge, still have 60% of the battery left.

That concerns me even more that mine it not fine. The charge it hopeless.

I ordered mine on Wednesday, received on Friday, but they haven't taken their money. No hold on funds, nothing.

Its a nice case, but way too expensive IMO for a third party case like that.

Sent various strong emails, same reply each time. Asked why those who placed around the launch are still waiting, he put it down to the length it takes banks to process... For all of us? I think not.
Asked why those who ordered after have received theirs already, they just ignored it.
Will have to see what the next response is, if they get me one, haha.
Have seen the possible issues with the camera, isn't it supposed to be due to the o/s currently rather than the handset itself?

I ordered an 8Gb at 15:47 on the 30th and it is still 'Pending'. Like others, the date in Google Play has changed to Feb 1st. I called Google yesterday and was told to expect it some time next week.
Lottiebird
3 Feb 13#1275
Nope, not on mine.
Anyone else find the camera horrendous? I'm really annoyed that a current phone can produce such poor quality pictures. my old Sony c905, k810i, and the iPhone 4s take far better pictures. I have a digital camera but it's nice to be able to take a picture on your phone. This phone is not capable of taking a picture.
greencode
3 Feb 13#1274
Does anyone know how to get more out of the battery in the N4? Whilst I understand that it's a powerful processor with a large screen I just can't seem to get even a day out of it without having to charge it, and that's not really doing much either. I went to bed last night with 100% charge and woke up this morning with 68% charge. I've done the following…
- Turned off location services (although Maps still appears to want to keep on running!)
- Installed Juice Defender
- Have the display on Auto setting.
Looking at it now it's on 57% with 8hr49mins of battery use and of that the main items on the list are Screen 24% (44mins on), Android 18%, Phone Idle 15%, WiFi 14%, Mobile Standby 12%.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Loving the phone but if it can't hold a day's charge i.e. if I'm out and about then it looks like I'll have to go back to the old iPhone 4 (I do realise that I'm not going to get the same amount of battery time on the N4)

Hi all - related question - I went ahead and ordered a case for the phone. The one that has turned up is labeled as being for the HTC One X. Do you think the seller has got it wrong, or that the same case would fit both phones? It's a pull cord style one and I'm thinking as the phones as similar in size this could be for both. However, the product description online didn't mention this. I've contacted the seller through Amazon, but thought I could get some views here quicker. It's this case - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Leather-Xylo-Pouch-Case-Cover/dp/B009YV8HRY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359832764&sr=8-1

I live in Harrogate so not far myself. Couriers will deliver on Saturdays if you pay for Saturday delivery. Google haven't. They paid Express which is 2 day delivery not a special Saturday delivery. *Most* deliveries look like they will be made on Monday but for some reason the odd one or two look like they have been done today according to other posters.

Sounds pretty normal. Nothing will change in Wallet until its with the courier. Then you'll get a shipment email and Wallet will say it's "delivered" - over to TNT tracking. Money is random, may show in your account, may not. Mine is apparently "on the van" but no money showing as being taken. Payment is noted as being taken in Wallet.

I ordered mine yesterday lunchtime. Have an email that says 'Estimated Ship - 1-2 weeks'. When I go to the Goolge Wallet it still shows as 'Pending'.

My bank account looks like the money has come out, but why does it still say pending? So confused!

That probably means that you'll get your shipped email tonight. Same for me yesterday, date changed in Wallet transaction but no descriptive change.
TNT tracked this morning to say its out on the van. No sign of it as yet today though.
That said, I did see a hire van speed down my street, turn around as if lost before speeding out. What chance it was conscripted by TNT...

2 Feb 13#1213
Do TNT deliver on Saturdays? It was due to be delivered yesterday but nobody was around... (Still in bed :P).
Will it be re-delivered today or not? Doesn't say anything about it in the tracking info. Says "Shipment received at destination depot" as of 21:06 last night... I guess it will arrive on Monday now.
The official bumper was out of stock when I ordered the nexus 4. Have decided to go for the poetic atmosphere case, brought from amazon.

2 Feb 13#1197
Looks nice... although I find with these hard cases tend to do more harm than good, ie the hard plastic rubs on the surface / edges and starts to scratch
personally I prefer a two peice soft silicone inner and hard shell outer but difficult to find for the N4 a bit like the CaseMate Tough galaxy S2
It looks good dont get me wrong, but I have many problems with "cheap" unbranded cases, I mean I had 3 different ones for my HTC EVO 3D and none of them fit right, chargers not fitting in the holes and such. Also, gel cases like this tend to impact use and practicality, for example I have a philips as351 android speaker dock and its cannot be used with a case like this or that the screen on the N4 is curved but these gel cases kinda seem to defeat the point of the screen curve
Just my thinking

What are some of the newer features of jelly bean exactly? I have to admit I've never really noticed much difference from Honeycomb to Gingerbread to Jelly Bean they all look the same to me, I'm sure I must be missing something but as far as I can tell they all have screens you can swipe between and apps and widgets you can put on those screens and that's pretty much it isn't it?
Yeah its a bit expensive but tbh its still cheaper than the bumper (which I would have got but its bulky).... shame it covers up the beautiful back though :/

However i opened it up and must say its a fantastic looking phone and im really impressed with 4.2 jelly bean too,ive always been an iphone guy but im really considering selling my iphone 5 and keeping this phone.Some of the newer features of jelly bean are great and its making ios6 seem really stale and old in comparison.Plus the bigger screen is great too compared to the iphone 5

after nexus 4 coming back in stock, i decided to to get one myself, a 16gb model ( will get back to that later )
ordered mine at half 3 on the 30th got all the emails on thurs. etc meant to get it delivered on friday by TNT had to take a day off, apparently ' I wasn't at home at around 5pm' after a few calls and another 'attempted' delivery had them deliver it today (live in london btw)and i got it, was buzzing its such a good phone and then i clocked its an 8gb model -.- so now im waiting for a replacement, we will see how it goes lol
advice for everyone still waiting if you're getting it from TNT go b**** and call your local depot to get it asap, the offical tnt people wanted to delay it until next wed.

Sure, Google have made a right balls up on the entire logistics operation however this is still a hot deal. I'm sure everyone else still waiting will receive theirs early next week. Now I'm looking for the wireless charger - this is where Google will make their money back.

Finally managed to get my hands on one today, settled for the 8GB version.. Looks beautiful and all :smiley:
I've coupled it with an three 30 day rolling contract that has UNLIMITED internet which is perfect for Google Play Music, plus unlimted texts and a few hundred minutes not that I use them... all for £10.49 per month after cash back. Three are also offering DC-HSPA which is twice the speed of normal HSPA+ so 4G really doesnt bother me, too over priced! (48mbps)

Yet another, god damn it... you're lucky. I think I should probably get off the internet before I break something.
They very clearly put the dispatch time as 1-2 weeks because they knew this would happen and nobody can say anything because its well ahead of schedule.
Is there anyone out there that got Nexus 4s from either of the last 2 batches i.e. nov/dec?
Supercharge_Me
2 Feb 13#1154
Ordered mine on Wednesday around 7pm and it was delivered Friday around 2pm. Mine is a 16gb. Pretty chuffed because I was happy to wait the 1-2 weeks it initially gave me :smile:
The phone itself is nice, after 6 years of iPhone, Android is a nice change. The build quality doesnt feel as good but I cant justify paying double for another iPhone, especially when Apple aren't seemingly able to keep up with the times..

If this goes to show anything is how we all value fairness. Google have been very unfair in the manor of which they have dispatched this highly desired phone and it shows a complete lack of respect for their customers. I've no doubt I will get it in their specified time frame which is all they are obliged to do, however we want answers as to why so many of us who ordered so soon after it came back into stock are waiting, whereas some who ordered a day later have received theirs!

2 Feb 13#1143
Ordered on Wednesday 30th at 3.30pm and getting delivery on Monday 4th. Whilst others who ordered on Thursday had deliveries yesterday. It's a complete joke especially as those that ordered late many are only interested in pawning the phone off.
Google way to go to peeve off your customers.
Sending an email to CS is pointless they responsd with the same reply.
The phone is cheap but so is the customer service. Would glaldy pay more for the phone if it mean they had a proper order management system and decent customer service reps.

The only thing is that you couldn't cancel your order now even if you wanted to which is another frustrating thing.
The order "system" that Google use seems to becoming more prevelant with retailers. I recently ordered MS points for the X360 from Tesco after seeing a deal on here. I ordered them on the 25th Jan and a friend ordered on the 27th. He has them and I don't and i get an email saying they won't be back in stock till 6th Feb so this daft random fulfilment system is obviously in use elsewhere.

Add me to your complaint but don't waste your energy with their CS support email as they emailed back with the usual templates with no real action or indeed an apology. Facebook or Watchdog or email to real high up at Google would be more useful, I think.

BTW - those being unsuccessful with their tracking via the link in the Wallet email - that probably does not work as they've linked a REFERENCE number tracking as a CONSIGNMENT number. Copy the number, start tracking afresh (important as changing the option on the screen does not work) and paste in the number. Select REFERENCE instead of CONSIGNMENT, and it may work.
I got a tracking screen similar to Bomster above now, after getting my shipped email last night at 9:30 (Leics depot). So fingers crossed for a Saturday delivery.
Still nothing showing online for my CC bill, but apparently this is normal, as it will only update overnight.
EDIT: Ordered Weds 30th at 3:15pm, 1 of each. Wallet states that my CC has been charged.

Ordered exactly at 15:00 on Wednesday, arrived last night at about 21:00! Ignore the 'Out for delivery' hours as TNT are so busy they are working until about 22:00 to get them delivered! That's what the courier said anyway. Spent ages applying a Spigen Ultra Oleophobic screen protector, the phone looks awesome and is extremely fast. One thing I love is that it comes preloaded with Chrome (Which I was expecting) so web browsing is lovely! I hope you guys get your Nexus' soon, as I was worried I wouldn't get it until next week - where I am away Tuesday - Friday. Plus my nearest TNT depot is in Nuneaton which is an hour drive from me! :disappointed:

As it's for valentines I'm not tooooo fussed but do feel a bit annoyed with the way they deal with their orders and it's very unprofessional and unfair. If I was few years younger, I would have been very very very upset...
Someone needs to raise a page on Facebook or something to document all these inconsistencies, so it exposes their ordering and stock dispatching flaws more effectively....

Commiserations to the people that have been left out, 'tis a lovely phone. Also seems to have protectors in place front and back, not the usual ones that you obviously have to pull off, these seem like normal screen protectors that you'd stick on yourself.

They gave me a tracking code on google wallet but according to that it says it was delivered in November sometime which is clearly an error and not the correct code for my delivery.

Also for some strange reason when I click the tracking code written in the email it says "not found"

Hello Matt,
Thank you for contacting us today.
I have consulted with Rashmi to find an update on the status of your order. It seems your order was escalated twice already and we estimate that the shippers will be able to push it through by the end of today. If you have not received any shipping information by tomorrow, please send me an email and I will follow up with a new update on the status of your order.

One more query where you all are seeing estimated delivery of 13th Feb?

You could import the contacts into the contacts section on your gmail account, they will then be available on your new phone. However I think you can only import CSV or vCard, I don't know much about these different formats but did a quick Google search and there looks to be lots of easy ways to convert a vcf file to one of these formats.
Hope this helps.

Just sync your contacts on the phone with your email provider. With gmail, its a very simple process. Once you pop the sim in your new phone sync it again and all your contacts should be on the handset. It should not take a couple of minutes to sync all the contacts on your phone.

Ordered the 16gb version two days ago but decided to cancel today and keep my S3, as the delivery date was still set for Feb 13th; after cancelling I got an email tonight saying it can't be cancelled as it's on it's way, even though my account still states it isn't with no tracking info etc.
The only thing I can think of is that cancelling it might possibly fast track the order, just in case customers decide to keep it when it turns up.

Original order placed at 6.30am on 31st.

I am probably the only user on the forum to experience this issue. Let me explain, I live in the Isle of Man and due to this fact it makes the phone I just received earlier practically useless. Google has blacklisted all ips address on the island blocking access to the Google Play store for paid apps. I didn't know this before purchase, how could I?! However more irritatingly I cannot even use the Google "Music Manager" to sync any music! Because you need to sign into the program on your PC, which Google has blocked...
I have done a little research and the bypass is using a VPN, downside being very slow and having to adjust settings each time it is required. On Manx forums other manx people who purchased the Nexus 7, on-island too! Had the same problems with the Play Store.

Ordered Wednesday 15:20. Checked status about every few hours until 6.30 this morning when I had to go to work.
Status still showed pending. ..
Phone turned up at 7.30 this morning shortly before status turned to "shipped"

hmm well, had a think, and realised the hold has been on the funds, as my balance reflected this straight after I purchased. It has not taken the money out of the a/c however as it doesn't show up as a transaction yet.
Only explanation is that the hold only affects the order date a few days after you've put the order through - and its only the unlucky ones who notice this as they are waiting, whereas the lucky ones dont check as theyve already got their devices.
wow, surprised by that! thought they had that issue sorted! US still has stock though

I called my bank and they said with regards to debit cards at least it takes 2 working days for amount to actually go to company u paid and he said Google have now got mine today so mb it has something to do with date change. but still if u buy something in a shop u don't wait two days for it. any bank folk on lol

is that possible and are you waiting for a delivery or redelivery
£95 ! I sold them an old galaxy tab for that last month, I though they might give about £300

You'd need to call your card company as the online systems won't update until 2am. I'd call mine but I can't be bothered speaking to India at this time on a Friday night.
Rossmor40
1 Feb 13#1039
I think you are right about the meaning of hold however the funds were showing as reserved/held on my credit card since a few hours after I ordered on the 30th so a change of date could also mean the orders are being processed.
cmehul
1 Feb 13#1038
how would you do this?
Rossmor40
1 Feb 13#1037
I had a look at mine and it's now showing as a pending transaction for £288.98 rather than just a hold or deduction from the credit limit.
zermattbusby
1 Feb 13#1036
Yes... but worth checking if you've actually been charged, not just ring-fenced / pending

1 Feb 13#1030
I could be wrong on this (perhaps someone can advise), but I don't believe a hold on your credit card means that it's been blocked or anything of that nature. I believe it has something do with them placing a reserve on the card. If you look at your card limit and available limit they should show a reduction of the cost of the Nexus 4, however you haven't actually been charged yet.

My local CEX didn't have enough cash (they said), so I am considering sending it in to them instead.
When sending the Nexus to CEX, would it be safer to open the box first and take pics (but not take the phone out), rather than sending it sealed ? I guess for CEX it doesn't make a difference if it is sealed or not, they're going to open it anyway, no ?
Although I like to think people are trustworthy, without any proof such as picture, CEX could claim that the sealed box actually contained no phone / just a dummy phone etc ?
m.ad to sbirsen

I had the last of the cash from my store, Grade A and I had opened the box but left the plastic covers on everything, so opening it shouldn't affect value...

Only if you pay extra for it, which Google won't have, they'll have paid for next working day. Pretty sure this question came up with the December orders and those who had them shipped Friday got them Monday.
Sorry if I'm wrong though, I hope I am really. Edit - Which I may be based on the above reply, though maybe that's because its a redelivery?

Google CS aside, if someone is selling a phone of this calibre at this price surely that is a tremendous deal?

Wouldn't surprise me if as someone previously mentioned that whether you had a play account before or not makes a difference, would be interesting to see if those who have or havent received them had an account prior to ordering.

Really cant make my mind up any advice guys?

CampGareth to Claudia5
1 Feb 13#955
They have radically different UIs so go to a store to check that out, otherwise, they're both flagship so you should be happy with either but the S3 with a microSD slot is probably better if you keep all your stuff on your phone all the time and don't have a great data plan, the nexus 4 is better on price and should get software updates more quickly. My recommendation is go off and do some research, impulse purchases of this size are regrettable.
sunnygilluk to Claudia5
1 Feb 13#957
I have an S3, Had it since it came out, Love it, Great phone. I find that the extra storage is nice to have but i never use it. If u have loads of music etc to store in the phone and movies its handy. And i have 2 batteries and an external charger for it, which is handy if u run out of battery.......but even so, all these months on, i find those 2 advantages on the S3 aren't that important to me. And im abit bored of it .........(Even though its a fantastic phone) - Even though the S3 has 1GB ram i still find myself having to kill processes and apps and freeze them to stop it from feeling sluggish eventually. If your a light user its fine. The Nexus is Faster in all benchmarks and has more RAM which is really handy if u install a lot of apps with processes. So im going to sell my S3 and upgrade to this for free basically. But as i said take in the positives of each and see if they are important to you.

And he was right, they did start sending emails from 6pm onwards... thats when comp2000 pass consignments on to TNT and send out dispatch emails. People need to just be patient, they will have some sort of system but none of us know it and everyone was well informed it could be up to 2 weeks.
EDIT: Ordered mine yesterday at 11am and no dispatch notice, so no not everyone who ordered yesterday has theirs. Just open a bottle of wine and enjoy your Friday night, posting on here every 2 minutes wont speed it up.

Ive been following this thread from the beggining trying to figure it out, i ordered at 15:07. 7 Minutes after it was available. Its not limited to Areas that has been established as someone had one delivered and someone down the road didnt, it makes no difference if its 16gb or 8gb as they are both being shipped. I just dont understand it. I might aswell order another one ill probably have more chance of receiving it tommorow than the one i ordered 7 minutes after availability!

Ordered today and EDD is 13th Feb
Btw anyone notice you can trade one into CEX for £350 cash? You make ~£50
Think I'm still gonna keep onto it though.

Revision 12 uses a new board for wireless charging to address some compatibility issues found with r10 and r11

I have just ordered the 16gb version and a micro sim from o2 - my o2 contract is up on 10th of this month. What I wanted to ask was - is there a way I can keep my contacts and phone number and how would I go about this?
jsmith1 to juneoates1
1 Feb 13#906
sync your old contacts to google contacts (if you can)
sign in to your new phone with the same google account and your contacts should re-appear. I have been using this since Android 1.6 -this is the best way to go.
or get Phone Explorer http://www.fjsoft.at/en/home.php

I thought that but I've uploaded several GB of music to Google Play Music (Free storage for 20,000 songs). I have apps like Digitally Imported, Sound Cloud, iPlayer, TV Catchup, I keep all my important files/apks in Dropbox, my pics and vids are automatically upladed to Dropbox when I'm on wifi, I changed my Copilot GPS maps from Europe to UK only that's 2GB > 128MB.
Installed a few games and apps and I've only uses 4GB of my 16 so far. Feels kind of empty in there :smiley:

Very fed up. Ordered 15:20 on the 30th.
Hearing that people ordered yesterday and have already received it makes my blood boil.
I know you can argue that at first we were all expecting 1-2 week delivery, but the fact is they clearly have plenty of stock and they just aren't processing the orders in a fair way. All that and they charge you £10 for the luxury!
Seriously let down.

Ordered 3 lots for mates who weren't able to get on the web at 1500.
First pair ordered 15:03 - Still 13th Feb Deliver
Second pair ordered 15:07 Still 13th Feb Deliver
Third pair, ordered 15:15 here today.
Work that out..
I suspect somewhere in the TNT warehouse someone has knocked over a huge stack of delivery orders and is now working through them in the order they re-stacked them.
Mate who ordered when he got home so post 1800, also has his today!
No way of working out their order process.

I think it works on EE's network, you just need to get the apn settings!
Still nice to know that in the future when 4G is more readily available that the nexus 4 can in fact take advantage of the speeds.
Unless this is something I haven't heard of, this only works in Canada.
The guy in the 2nd video implies he's from Canada too.

It may well do, however I'll argue the toss. I only ordered one but googles awful checkout made it appear the 1st transaction never went through, So I'll happily take the loss on one but not two. Saying that one has been (attempted) delivered the 2nd still has not been despatched and they were ordered within 30 secs of each other. Crazy how these are being distributed.
Got the delivery email early this morning but the TNT tracking number is not working. Anyone has the same problem?

To be honest (and at the risk of being slated) if you don't have the common sense to decide if you need something before spending £239/279 on something before buying it on impulse maybe them forcing you to pay the postage might make you think twice in future.

I ordered 4.30pm 30th Jan.
It just said being Processed. After mailing they said will be delivered by the 13th Feb. Well within the timeline I agreed to.
What is odd is people getting them very quickly. I am having my delivered to London, which you would have thought should of had a large amount allocated to it.
If people order and get something the next day fair play. I only bought the phone as I'm tired of my HTC Sensation XE. I can use it for 2 more weeks without kicking off at Google. If people are that unhappy go to Apple. They have lovely phones that are slower, locked down and cost more. Quit whining and just get on with it. :man:

I'll explain this again for people like M_z who cannot grasp the idea of a queuing system. How would you feel if when you're doing your weekly Tesco shopping and your next then the checkout girl beckons the person at the end of the queue to be served next. Bet you wouldn't be too pleased. So when your biting at everyone who dares complain think about this M_z. (yes i was one of the many people you bit at)
you_gotta_be_kidding to dodgydave69
1 Feb 131#787
I'm with you 100%... Regardless of the 1-2 estimate they should be shipped in order.
That said I am happy cos I got mine
That said again, maybe your card flagged a security risk, maybe the couriers are overwhelmes in your area, maybe they just don't like your name (dodgy is an odd first name)
M_z to dodgydave69
1 Feb 13#804
I get why you are annoyed, there is a natural order of things that suggests a queue, first-come-first-served. But if Google say they will deliver in 1-2 weeks, and you sign up to that, then you cant accuse Google of failing to do what it said - until 2 weeks are up.
I bought mine a few minutes after 3pm and I'd like my phone to have been delivered yesterday too, but as I signed up to 2 weeks, I wont throw a hissy fit until two weeks are up. :smiley:

tom6195
1 Feb 13#805
It is a fantastic phone.
Unfortunately 2 of my 3 handsets suffered from this awful earpeice problem whereby you couldnt have it on full volume as it would just sound too crackly and distorted the only way to fix it was to turn it down but then you can't hear the other person. It also emitted this constant buzzing noise whether in-call or not.
The one good handset had terrible backlight bleed at the bottom of the screen so any dark backgrounds and you'd be put off.
Aside from that I loved this phone but for now will swap to an iphone 5 and wait for the nexus 5.
Kenneth131
1 Feb 13#803
the camera will rattle. All phones using the new sensors will. The lens is cushioned by a spring to allow for more stable pictures. So when you shake it your forcing the lens to bounce up and down. Try it with an Iphone 5 etc. All the same.
No backlight bleed and not anything noticeable from the earpiece. I would like to see tighter buttons though they are "loose" feeling compared to some other phones.
I know its no issue though as its the same method samsung and many manufacturers are using for volume rockers just now. Hey ho.
All in all really nice phone

It means it's been manifested (ie details passed from google to TNT) but hasn't actually left the warehouse yet. In otherwords you aint gettin it today

£9.99 may seem a lot but my company ships around 150 parcels per day. I use parcelforce and pay £4.15 + VAT per parcel, having shopped around and negotiated a lot I can tell you that's a good rate. BUT it only has £50 compensation. If google want their phones covering to the value of the phone then they will be looking closer to the £10 mark. TNT for a next day service for our volumes was arond £7 per parcel, not competative at all.

lol.....TNT just delivered mine (ordered at about 2pm yesterday). The courier said he normally has about 40-50 drops per day but yesterday and today he's got over 200 (60 of em left over from yesterday)...... LMAO

1 Feb 13#788
I am happy that you got your delivery within 24 hours whilst the rest of us who ordered first wait. Any chance you can provide your order number as Google CS are saying its not possible orderes placed later are sent out first.

Just a thought but givewn the courier is under pressure maybe they control orders by postcode also so the couriers don't get overwhelmed in certain areas?
bigpappa
1 Feb 131#778
People are irate as it seems phoens are sent out willy nilly with no regard as to when one ordered it. Google has no idea when a phone will be sent out. It's just plain ridiculous and then on top they charge £9.99 for delivery when you are getting a second rate service.
Mark43 to bigpappa
1 Feb 13#780
Forget how quickly others are getting them, its still within the 2 week estimate. This is nothing like the screw up with the December orders, and I would imagine the 99% of people who aren't reading sites like this are blissfully unaware of others getting the device quicker than estimated.
M_z to bigpappa
1 Feb 13#782
£9.99 isn't very good value, I'll give you that one. But, when you bought your phone - did it say that phones would:
(a) be delivered on a strictly first-come-first-served basis
(b) 1 to 2 weeks
?
If it said (a) then fair enough, be irate, if it said (b), then Google is doing exactly what you signed up for unless it gets to two weeks and you don't have it.

Well I had my shipping email in the early hours this morning, no details on the link to TNT on the PC it says item not found, but going through gmail on my phone and linking to TNT it shows full delivery details... strange

That is excellent service isn't it? I cant understand why a few people are throwing their toys out the pram because they haven't got their phone the next day - when they were told it would be up to two weeks!

1 Feb 13#776
just call them - they were very friendly and simply couldn't say why some are being sent and how thats being decided etc, he agreed it was frustrating. all he could tell me was mine isn't sent and is a pending order that currently i should receive 13th which to be fair they did say when i ordered so its all good

Can anyone confirm how general battery use is.

Does it take a while for the tracking info to show up on the TNT website cos it just says no information found when I track mine...
Lottiebird to zAndy1
1 Feb 13#764
Mine didn't track until just now - got my email at 22.30 last night. Although the tracking is pretty useless, just says it's at the Byfleet depot but doesn't indicate when it'll be delivered so guess I'll just wait in. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait :smile: Ordered at 18.10 on Wednesday so I'm happy with the service from Google so far.
Now to choose a case. Any suggestions on a case that will protect my phone while it's sloshing around in my handbag? There are so many around but I need something that'll protect the screen too. Maybe a screen protector with the Poetic Borderline case? Or maybe this leather one
Kenneth131
1 Feb 13#763
Yeah it does. Sometimes the device will be delivered before the tracking returns any info as TNT reuse tracking numbers so it could also return info completely unrelated to your delivery. If your going to be out best to give TNT a phone. Give them the tracking number and see if the local depot has it and when delivery will be

It would almost be better if I weren't reading this thread. If I knew nothing of other peoples' experiences I'd just assume 2 or maybe 3 weeks for delivery because something might go wrong, but now that I know some people are receiving theirs I'm foolishly hoping to receive my phone a lot sooner, darnit hukd :P
sputty02
1 Feb 131#754
Wow i really hope Google don't refund delivery charges to all these people saying they will refuse delivery. You purchased a product that specifically stated a 1-2 week wait, if you weren't willing to wait you shouldn't have ordered! Even better would be charging a nice restocking fee on top to prevent this kind of behavior in future.
I really feel sorry for UK business having to put up with the attitudes of consumers in this thread.

It's a crazy distribution system. They must just randomly pick names from the list of whose ordered instead of doing it first come first served. People who ordered within the first few hours may end being one of the last to get them.
It doesn't seem to be done by area as my friends a few doors down the road who ordered at 11pm last night got his dispatch email at 6pm today while I have had no dispatch email despite my order being put through at 3.30pm.
I Don't mind the wait if they did all the dispatches in the order they were received.:stuck_out_tongue:

eatsleepattack
31 Jan 13#735
To the people are receiving phones/confirmation emails: where abouts do you live? I reckon that in more populated areas, items will be shipped out faster as the couriers will be able to be more efficient, whereas in the less populated areas, couriers may wait for more things waiting to be sent before shipping the phones. Just a theory! haha

I wouldn't bother, when I got mine back in December the shipping e-mail didn't arrive until about 2am, and the phone was at my door at around 9am.
Best thing people can do is stop refreshing, and stop worrying about other people getting theirs. They have a 2 week estimate, just get on with your lives until it arrives. :smiley:

Good luck with trying to cancel i tried to cancel one order yesterday afternoon but was told :
regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.
Although we attempted to honor your request, we were unable to cancel your order in this window.
But still no shipping e mail, Awful service from such a large company.

Nothing for me either, ordered at 3:02pm. Way I see it, if it arrives before '1-2 weeks' than it's a bonus! Waited long enough - few more days / weeks won't hurt! At least I was able to get one this time :smiley:.

No change in delivery from 1 to 2 Weeks Well over a day later. Looks like tons of supply and might be permanent stock after first surge. Lots of quad phones some under £150. 2 well reviewed ones at £100 to be released soon. I even found one at £85 delivered. I am waiting for a couple, good brands, already released under £200 with better resolution than this phone. Actually two notches up better than this at 1920x1080

I ordered 2 as my order froze and I didn't appear to go through (as many people did if you read the full thread). I've since thought about my need for one already having an S3 and I don't need it.

Yup here's the email
Hi,
Thanks for contacting Google Play regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.
Although we attempted to honor your request, we were unable to cancel your order in this window. There are a couple of options now:
IF YOU ARE ABLE TO ACCESS THE SHIPPING ADDRESS-
If you (or a known acquaintance) are able to access the shipping address, your package is scheduled to arrive there. If you no longer want the package, you can refuse the unopened package from the shipper and Google will issue you a refund. You can read the instructions for refusing delivery for your location below.
In the UK and Australia:
If your device has not yet been delivered, it is en route, and you may be able to REFUSE DELIVERY (see instructions at bottom of this message). If your device has been delivered, but you would like to return it, please follow the returns process posted at: http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2411741
REFUSE DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: Don't open the package. Our shipper will not allow refusal of delivery for opened packages. Leave a prominent note on the door to let our shipping provider know that you're refusing delivery of the package. In some cases our shipping provider has returned packages if their drivers see a note for refusal of delivery. The note should include the following:
- Refuse delivery
- Return to Sender
- Include signature
- Include tracking #
If your package is returned due to refusal of delivery, your order will be cancelled and refunded within 2 weeks.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ACCESS YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS-
If your device is being shipped to an address you cannot access, please reply to this email and we will work on trying to contact the shipper about the change of address. We cannot guarantee that we can stop shipment for your order.
Thanks for reading through this email- please feel free to reply if you have any questions, and a member of the Google Play Support team will be in touch with you shortly.
Regards,
The Google Play Support team

You can't cancel. I tried by the link and through google play. They just send you an email saying the phones have already been shipped to the distributor and they are sorry. And that you have to refuse delivery and then you get your refund two weeks later. Quite pathetic really.

Does anyone know what TNT usually do when nobody is in? Will I be able to collect it from them on Saturday morning? Or will I have to rearrange a delivery slot for next week?
When I got my Nexus 10 I got a shipping email at 11pm and I've heard of people getting them at 3am so it could be any time!

Here's hoping tomorrow then, I was expecting 2 weeks! Winner!
8ball001
31 Jan 131#668
Same here but i noticed changing the language on google (bottom line on your order history) will also change your order status slightly.
In UK english i also get "delivered" althought my tnt track number isn't recognised yet.(I presume that means my phone isn't in the possession of tnt yet)
In US english the status is changed to "shipped"
In French the status would be "shipped" as well if I translate. and not "delivered"
Same in German and Spanish.
Hope that helps. I think the most important thing is the tnt track number and what's the actual status on tnt tracking page is.

31 Jan 135#663
From another forum based on last time the nexus 4 were dispatched.
FACT: Choosing to link your device or not during checkout has ZERO impact on your delivery
FACT: Assuming you are in mainland UK, your location has ZERO impact on your ship date (if TNT get lost finding you that's unrelated)
FACT: Ordering 2 seconds before the next guy does not mean you will receive your order before him/her.
FACT: The guys at the airport in Korea are not loading phones one by one by hand while looking at who ordered at what precise second and minute in the day. Likewise, the guys at the airport in the UK won't be doing that, nor will TNT. It will be in a batch.
FACT: If you didn't receive your phone today, it doesn't mean you will never ever receive it
FACT: You all purchased under the assumption delivery will be in two weeks time, worst case. It has been just 1 day and a lot of people are already moaning - "i ordered a product with a 2 week shipping estimate and it's been 1 day and i still haven't received it, google sucks" -> sounds ridiculous.
Credit to the person who wrote those fact. I am just sharing my readings here.
I agree with him about the last fact but we all turn back to kids when we pressed that "Order now" button yesterday. Can4t wait to play with our new toy even knowing that it takes at least 2/3 days in average to receive anything ordered from internet. And yet we (me first) all complain and keep on hitting refresh on all those opened tabs (google store, email, this webpage ...) :smirk:

To those that received it next day, did you get dispatch notifications?
I have the iPhone to use until it arrives, so can wait the 2 weeks if necessary, but like a kid before Xmas, now I've ordered it I want it ASAP!!
bigpappa
31 Jan 131#621
This is what happens when margins get driven to ridiculously low levels. C2000 has a model based on rubbish level service and thus wins the bids to manage the order processing. Companies like HP don't like to deal with storage and warehousing as some MBA / Consultant told them its not a core competency to they just contract it out to the lowest bidder which is C2000.
zermattbusby
31 Jan 131#617
Google haven't done themselves any favours in charging for delivery imo
Why didn't they just hide it in the cost of the device?
As mark says above its only been a day and shipping was 1-2 weeks. Its not been 1-2 weeks so if you bought it on the premise you would get it sooner then that was wishful thinking on your behalf. Some people have got theirs and great it shows they are dealing with orders. If you didnt get yours then you still have until the 13th of feb to get a dispatch note. If by then you dont get one sure call up and get the £9,99 refund on shipping or cancel your order.
The orders are dealt with in batches by C2000 so how they process these is up to them nothing to do with google. Google just put your order on a spreadsheet in order of time purchased and it is sent to C2000 for shipping. How and when they do this is up to them.
I know the reason there was a hold up the last time was nothing to do with phone stock levels but the fact C2000 ran out of pre paid TNT shipping labels for the google play account so had to wait on TNT delivering a new batch lol laughable I know but should they have used another courier im sure things would have been smoother

Seems like orders being sent out in wrong order yet again. Ordered 16GB at 57 seconds after 3 and nothing so far. Many posts on here and on the UK XDA thread of people already receiving theirs. Google haven't learnt anything.
M_z to dodgydave69
31 Jan 133#600
Well they said it would be delivered in 1-2 weeks, not that they would operate a strictly first-come-first-served system - so I think, as long as you do receive it in the 1-2 weeks you agreed to, then you have nothing to complain about.
I am in the same boat as you, I'd have liked to have received mine today, I didn't - but I wont throw my toys out of the pram for another week. :smiley:
Mark43 to dodgydave69
31 Jan 131#613
They have learnt something, not to quote anyone a 3-5 day delivery. They quoted you 1-2 weeks, whatever order they send them out in as long as you get it within 2 weeks then you get what you were offered.

31 Jan 13#612
It doesn't seem very good value for money if its not a next day service - but I guess the 'all in' cost of the phone + delivery is still an excellent deal.

If you follow the link in your confirmation email to your Google Wallet and press Transactions on the left, the Nexus will be listed under Pending
Beorg to suzannemcgowan1
31 Jan 13#603
It is a two day delivery once your phone has been despatched. I got mine a few hours after the confirmation email a month ago.
However, if it said that the phone is out of stock and it will likely be despatched within 1 or 2 weeks, that's when you should expect to get it and not any time sooner.
Kenneth131
31 Jan 13#586
Definitely mark. I totally agree I was getting more at those that don't know and get frustrated that they have yet to receive an email without knowing the chain of events and how the whole process works which will kind of cause some people unease that they seemingly have money taken with no idea what's going on so once you understand the chain of events it can pit your mind at ease.
I do agree however googles choice of partner for this was possibly not the best given who they partner with for delivery etc so fair comment mark
Mark43 to Kenneth131

Hopefully everyone will get their phone soon. Its only been a day so don't panic people, even if others have theirs.
Beorg
31 Jan 132#596
I regretted getting the 16GB model for £40 extra (or 21% premium if you like) at first, but in the end, it comes down to convenience and resale value.
I'm intending to keep the phone for 12-18 months, £40 over 18 months is just a little over £2/month.
Whilst Google Music allows me to store thousands of songs in the Cloud, I don't always have access to perfect coverage where streaming high quality music is viable. That's not very inconvenient if you don't have many albums or want to store only a few on your device.
I hardly store any videos and photos can be uploaded to a Dropbox/Box account on the go. By the way, a few weeks ago I was able to get 50 GB free lifetime account with Box by registering the phone, not sure if that deal is still on the table, though.
The only real problem are apps, mainly games, that can often go into GBs these days, and the sizes increase every year. I already have only 5.17GB free space available and that is without storing anything large on the device, besides a few games.
If you root and make a backup of the system+data, it's easily 2GB. Photos and videos taken with the phone can easily go to 1-2GB in no time at all. You should always have a little space storing music locally and apps will usually take a few GBs, depending on what games you install and how you use your phone. I also flash a lot of ROMs, which themselves are usually around 200 MB large, so having some extra storage for that is a must.
Case in point, the 16GB model for me makes sense in the long run. I don't have to worry about the storage, even though I have most of my games and videos (not porn, mostly TV shows) stored on my Nexus 7 tablet.
The real free storage on the 16GB N4 is around 12.92 GB whereas the 8GB has around 5.67 GB of free space. That's almost 130% more storage for 21% increase in cost, which I felt was justified in the end. If my use was any different, I'd go with Cloud services and spent that £40 on a good night out or new IEMs.
Hope that helps anyone who's still wondering which version to get of this incredibly well priced device.

m.ad
31 Jan 13#588
Yes. Your quote on the website is valid for 5 working days, as long as it gets there by the 6th day they should honour the price.
As with any high price item, I would ship recorded as a precaution should item get lost in the post (never happened to any games I have sent to CEX but ya never know). I only ever had one issue with sending a game to CEX, when I sent a game as sealed but it wasn't (my mistake). However, I got a phone call quoting the reduced price, I wasn't happy with the new price so they sent the game back to me free of charge. Whether or not they do this with phones I am not sure

31 Jan 13#587
I'm gonna go straight after work but theyre only open til 6.45 and I fear they will fob me off :disappointed:
zermattbusby
31 Jan 13#585
If I had one in hand I would take it to store, I would only post it to CeX as a last resort, for the following reasons :
a) You pay the postage (6 quid RMSD)
b) Will they agree its in the condition you say it is
c) If you send it sealed they'll probably open it and say its not new
Better really to deal face to face imo
Kenneth131
31 Jan 13#581
OK as promised here is the company that is used for distribution in the UK so people can stop blaming Google for any delays. Being informed is half the problem so let me enlighten you all.
To be fair people can still complain about Google if they're unhappy. They've placed an order with Google, if Google then use a distributor that does a poor job then Google are still ultimately responsible.

I had just ordered it at time of posting but received no errors. Got the confirmation email to tell me I have ordered it.
tom6195
31 Jan 13#579
Yeah order another one.
So if I fill this form out now, get to the store later and they don't have enough cash or price has changed, I just ship them to CEX direct?
Kenneth131
31 Jan 13#578
Yep as mentioned Google don't handle the shipping or distribution in the UK its a third party company
They are a huge distribution company with many large names of tech on the books so deal with orders in batches
Nothing against Google but as this is the case phoning them won't help as they honestly have no idea and not their fault its all handled by another company in the UK.
The run dispatch in batches and hence why you get a wave of phones sent at the same time
Once its shipped from there your Google wallet transaction will change from pending to a paid transaction with a TNT reference. Which may or may not mean anything to TNT as mentioned they reuse tracking numbers but it will have shipped at this point
You will get a dispatched email from Google though at this time also

To be honest you're going to have your own criteria for what you want out of a phone, and only you know what yours are. If you're interested in buying one, check the reviews on the internet.
I got the 16Gb one just before Christmas and must admit its the best phone I've ever had. No regrets in giving up my old IcrapPhone 4.... I am getting an IcrapPHONE5 next month for work so will be able to compare properly but my odds are on the Nexus4.... awesome piece of kit!

31 Jan 1329#563
For anyone wondering why you have been charged for the device but it has not shipped il explain.
You bought the phone from Google for £288
The £288 is charged to your payment card and google would have received an authorization code from your bank. This allows them to request the money from your bank.
In the mean time your bank puts £288 into a suspense account where it sits pending from 3-5 days
Since google wont actually charge you until it ships they money shows off your available £££ in your bank account but it has not been claimed by google as they havent shipped your phone
So after 3-5 days. If your phone hasnt shipped £288 will fall back into your account.
Then when the phone ships the £288 will be processed again and this time google will clime the money and you will see £288 Google play order on your transactions list for your bank.
This is quite an american way of doing things as its taken you are paying by credit card. Even the play store asks what credit card you want to pay with.
If you had paid with a credit card they transaction would go through just the same but you wouldnt notice the £288 being put into the pending state as its not YOUR money your being restricted to accessing it would only be £288 of credit available.
Its more down to the fact its always been advised to use a credit card on the play store and pretty much the norm for americans to pay for most on a credit card where as here in the uk we use our debit cards more which is why this happens.
If you see in about 3-5 days the funds will become avail again unless google ship the phone, in which case you will see the payment on your statement

They reserve the money on your card but don't actually take it until they ship, not quite sure what the difference is really unless the fact they've only reserved it means you don't pay interest on it until it's actually taken

I've also been using iPhones since day one and as much as I still like it I just fancied a change. I had a chat with a friend who had the S3 and I then played around with this in the shop for a while and thought it was pretty poor. The stuff Samsung have stuck over the top of Android feels cheap and not at all intuitive, coming from an iPhone. I then went into the o2 store yesterday and had a play with the Nexus 4 and it felt so much smoother than the S3 so I've gone ahead and purchased one. Looking forward to receiving it.

Folks, need some honest opinion here..
I'm an iPhone user. I've had an iPhone since the first 2G one, then 3G, then 4, currently iPhone 5 (regrettable "upgrade"). I hate Apple as a company, the way they operate, the stupidly overpriced devices, and yet - I buy their products. Well, I buy the iPhone anyway. I love iOS and I find it second nature. I've used Android before, many times. I've tried and wanted so badly to like it more than iOS, but I just can't get on with it. I just don't feel Android is as user-friendly, as streamlined, as smooth as iOS. Android just feels like an inferior quality in comparison with iOS.
Now, I'm yet to experience Jellybean or Google's Nexus branded devices. Please, can someone (hopefully someone who's been in my shoes) tell me the honest truth. Is this Google Nexus 4 any different from Samsung's, HTC's or Motorola's devices? Price aside, let's imagine the iPhone 5 is £400 and the Google Nexus 4 is £400 also, would they be considered comparable in user-friendliness and functionality? I hope this is the device that will make me finally bid farewell to Apple. That said, not having iMessage or Facetime is going to cause issues..
But I think you will find that even this phone and Jelly Bean are not quite as polished as iPhone. The third party apps are of a slightly higher quality - but we are now getting to the point where the difference is marginal.

You wont be disappointed , I have the nexus s which is basically the 2nd release of the google phone, whereas the nexus 4 is the 4th incarnation. This runs vanilla android so no unnecessary bloat. Jelly bean run very smooth on my old handset so I'd imagine its lightening quick on this new device. You will also be getting OS updates before any other handsets.
homerj1977 to qwerta369
31 Jan 132#515
I've always been an android fan, but even I'll admit the OS hasn't always been the best looking or smoothest. Other launchers have helped in this respect, but still not perfect.
Jellybean is something different altogether. It's beautiful, modern and ridiculously smooth, whereas I think iOS now looks stale and dated.
I can't recommend the N4 enough, certainly at that price, but each to thier own
Mark43 to qwerta369
31 Jan 13#517
I can't comment on previous versions of android as this is the first I've used, but coming from an iPhone 4 I'm really happy with it. I find it just as easy to use as iOS and had become tired and bored of that OS anyway. Also I don't really like Apple and always said to myself I'd switch when the competition caught up, which they have.
m.ad to qwerta369

I am in a similar boat - iPhone 4 user, tried the Galaxy SII but could not get on with it so sold it, then worked for a company that provided me with a 4S and iPad, further entrenching me into the Apple ecosystem which I want to break away from.
When I had the Galaxy SII I felt that the interface wasn't as smooth as my iPhone, which was a major reason for selling it and reverting back to the older device. I think it was the combination of the Android version (Gingerbread) and Samsungs TouchWiz interface that put me off.
I haven't had any hands-on time with the Nexus 4, but I did give the Nexus 7 a quick go on display at Tesco, and the interface has come a long way since Gingerbread. Stock Android and "Project Butter" seem to have made all the difference, so I have high hopes that I can finally start moving away from iOS.
My advice would be to try and find a Nexus 4, 7 or 10 on display in a shop somewhere and have a quick play. Larger Tesco, HMV or Carphone Warehouse stores would be good places to start. I know that some Android devices have extra features (removable battery / MicroSIM / OTG) but for someone coming from iOS, will they really be needed yet? My main reason for getting the Nexus is to at least start moving away from iOS and begin to build a relationship with Android. Otherwise I will start buying more apps for iOS which will make it harder to break away as time goes on.
PS, regarding FaceTime and iMessage? Skype and WhatsApp are two examples of alternatives that come to mind as replacements
Hope that helps :smiley:

I have an S3 currently and i ordered this on impulse too. I decided that evening it was too small an upgrade and no point in doing it. So i tried to cancel. Google sent me the same generic cant cancel email that they sent everyone else. I havent had it delievered or any sign of it yet. But im really stuck, i love my s3, i love the expandable memory (although i dont use it all that often) i have tons of accesories for it HDMI out cable cases batteries etc. Although my wife also has one and she can use these. But i really like the look of the nexus and i THINK im willing to sacrifice expandable memory and removable battery to have it. But still completely not sure what to do, i can either sell my s3 for 250 quid and keep the nexus, or sell the nexus to CEX, but like alot of people are saying CEX might not be paying 344 (I have made an account and set up a sale of a nexus 4 already just in case, you get five working days to get it to them for that price) im so confused right now!!!!
SilverBlack to sunnygilluk
31 Jan 13#527
lol you sound like me :smile:
Im going to give the Nexus a fair go and if i dont like it will just sell it on.
Same with my S3 will sell that too if i like the Nexus.The thing that bothers me is the price of any other phone i might want compared to this Nexus almost double.
An S4 is going to be what £499 + ?? I like the look of the Sony Xperia Z but thats £530 same as an iphone5.
This Nexus is just too good price to pass up on.

Have you tried the nexus?
My wife has an S3 which I think is great but the nexus is head and shoulders betters. The only things I find better about the samsung is a faster shutter speed (but the photo's are better on the Nexus) and the lack on expandle storage on the nexus. The nexus is better in every other way. If you can manage without the extra storage then sell you S3 and keep the nexus. It's seriously slick.
I finally got my order in, hope it comes quick now.

I was one of the lot that ordered in December.
Received my device just before Xmas.
Picked it up after a 3 hour charge and the back shattered in my hand leaving cuts.
Apparently the shock from my cold hand (just came in from outside in the snow) triggered the glass to have a freak reaction.
Called Google Play (who are DIABOLICAL) and they arranged an RMA
TNT delivered my replacement to someone else.

15:10 order - no dispatch to west London
I ordered in December but cancelled as was fed up of waiting. It seemed back then that if you ordered after a certain time the order numbers reset and were lower than people who ordered the minute it became available, so people who ordered later got their phones first. So, for a 15:10 order the last set of numbers in my order number are 1521327627855379.
To test the theory, can someone with a dispatch note who ordered after 15:10 (if any) provide the last part of their order number to compare?

Guys this CeX business, is it really just a case of walking in to the shop with a sealed 16GB and they give you 344 quid for it? If so what's the catch?
m.ad to zermattbusby
31 Jan 131#446
They may say they don't have the money in the till, and say they can't do it. Or, they will say it is not Grade A, and give you a lower price (although if it is sealed it would be difficult to argue!!)
You can always do the trade with CEX online, although you will need to pay P&P and again, if they classify it at a lower grade, your stumped
Saying that though, I have traded many games with them in the past both in store and online, and found it relatively hassle free
willyvwade to zermattbusby
31 Jan 131#447
Pretty much, but only for the first few people who get to the store, since they'll only take X number of handsets for cash (If you want something instore, they'll offer trade all day).
In my local stores, the N4 is the most wanted handset, so they'll probably take a lot unless the stores managers have seen that these are in stock for real this time.
pete1993 to zermattbusby
31 Jan 131#450
Most stores now have the ability to pay you via BACS, so it's unlikely you'll be declined on that basis.
Just wait in the queue (up to 30mins in my local), they put it through the tills, give it a Grade A as it's brand new and put it in for a test. Before the new system came in, you had to then return after 1-6 hours after it had been tested to collect the cash, if your store has BACS, they will put the payment through when they finish testing, so you don't need to come back.
Really is that simple, the BACS takes 3-4 days to come through, but it does come through. :stuck_out_tongue:
I ordered at 3:02, 16GB model.

Thanks for contacting Google Play regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.

Keep it, seriously.
The S3 has removable storage, a better camera, OTG support and uses the cheaper, more common MHL connection for TV-out.
The Nexus 4 is marginally better in the CPU & GPU areas but not enough that you'd notice and IPS vs OLED is moot.
I'm happy with my Nexus 4 but I wouldn't go to the effort of replacing an S3 with it.

Any good heavy duty cases? Dust protection, etc. Something that is able to wrap around the edges of a screen protector at least would be a necessity for what my one will be used for.
I've seen enough fugly purple cases or ones with embarassing designs on the back to do me for a lifetime at this stage.
Dunno about the 4g stuff, but with my virgin sim I can sit on the top of the bus, with the hotspot turned on, watching tvcatchup on the s2, and browsing the Internet on my iPod touch (5th gen), and both smooth as funk.
GiffGaff really just seemed to give up a few months ago, so many cutouts, etc
Offering £335 cash for a new 16gb at the moment, probably start to drop though

31 Jan 13#413
Yep, I loved them at first too. After a year I got sick of service dropouts and signal issues, and they refused to give me a PAC code. Had to quibble for weeks before they'd give me one.
Virgin have been around for a while now, and aside from the well known teething problems they had with iPhone 5 network settings causing dropouts (grrrr apple), its been superb now its fixed. One thing i've noticed, is that the phone considers the network link to be LTE enabled, even though its not. Still, the faster HSPA+ connection rivals the US LTE speeds at 11mbps. Well chuffed.
Edit: after a wee bit researching, it appears my phone defaults to EE's 4G services (even though we dont have 4G here), not sure if this is the norm with Virgin, or if its a mistake.

I managed to purchase the phone when the second batch was released. I have to say Google were completely unprepared for the launch and failed to address issues properly or put proper systems into place.
The main thing is the phone, which is to be honest a very good phone, especially considering the price. The phone is extremely quick and I have had no issues with my phone, showing that LG has fixed any hardware faults reported. I would recommend the 8GB to those who will use it primarily for just calls and texts, a few apps and pictures as well as they dont take up much space. The 16GB is perfect for me as I dont keep movies or music on my phone. The battery life is also excellent for me, lasting me two days. As for the camera, I am not a professional photographer, so to me this is still an 8MP camera.
This phone might not appeal to everyone but since when does everyone have the same requirements or needs. For me this phone is brilliant and it is packed with many features also offering first hand updates straight from Google. The best thing about Android is that it is totally customisable, so if you dont like something, you can find and change things so it will be exactly how you want.

Folk do know that the reason this seemed so hard to get wasn't necessarily because it was "hugely popular" do they ?
I read that only 440,000 units, worldwide, were produced on that first / second batch, hence the "sold out in minutes" headlines.
When Apple / Samsung release a phone, they often have 5-6 million ready.

It's how they reduce costs but still make margins high enough to keep manufacturers interested. If you want an sd slot get an S3.

I can see what you're saying but I also have to day that I agree with the OP here. Google's decision to not include SD card readers in the nexus range makes no sense and spoils what are otherwise a great range of hardware.
I'm not knocking it, I quite fancy this phone myself and am typing this on a nexus 7 but cloud storage is of no use to you when you're on holiday abroad with no WiFi or on a plane at 33000 feet.

So tempted, but sadly there arent any good android tablets to complement it. My OCD demands my gadgets run the same os and are by the same manufacturer. I know there are nexus tabs, but the quality is horrible.
I wish google would reverse thecompanies manufacturing the tabs. Samsung are far better for 7" tablets, as their 10" are plagued by issues due to the nasty cheap plastic. Asus on the other hand have lead the 10" android space since they entered it.
Think ill cough up the extra few hundred quid for the excellent upcoming Sony phone and tab. Im becoming incredibly bored with ios. Would be even better if someone actually made a decent windows rt tablet.

Also guys, avoid giffgaff. Data speeds are very poor, and the network is always down or experiencing issues.
Virgin are far better, and have superior coverage as they use orange/tmob masts as opposed to crappy O2.
I live in northern england, a place no one acknowledges as being part of the country, and i still manage 11mbps down, 4 up on the outskirts of sunderland, as opposed to O2's 3mbps down.
Also, virgin allow for unlimited tethering on their unlimited data plans, where as giffgaff do not.
Mark43 to striker33
30 Jan 13#369
Depends where you live, O2 is better for me. I'd say base your decision on what is good in your area.
And no, they are not always down or experiencing issues. There have been a couple of problems in the last couple of years, but generally great.
The Virgin deal is great as well though.

It's very tempting but if what i've read is true about a new Nexus coming out next month i think i might just hold off getting one. Unless i can sell my sensation to somebody.
Has anyone used a sim cutter on a full size sim to use in this phone (or any other phone that uses micro sim)... probably stupid but is it easier/safe to do?

From what I understand the older style 3G sims have a larger contact footprint (as mine was) and they can be a little tricky.
Plenty of people have had success in doing it though, cutters are about 3 quid on ebay
Some networks will issue one for free
T-Mobile / EE charge a tenner

Even though it says 1-2 weeks dispatch it may actually be sent out tomorrow(assuming you ordered earlier today) or in the next couple of days, as the americans and germans who had the phone comeback to stock yesterday where also given 1-2 weeks dispatch times , have already had their phones being dispatched today.

I broke mine, Google directed me to LG. You wait for a letter from LG with postage details, you send it off to LG, wait upto 10 working days for a quote in the post, agree the cost, you pay for the repair, then wait for the phone to be returned. They quoted £60 to £100 to replace the screen verbally, I am waiting the written quote. Oh, if you do not like their quote, it will cost you upto £25 to get the broken handset back. A very long winded process if you ask me!! Apparently, they do not do emails to speed up the process!!!!

I have a anker battery but not that much improvement.

Hope this helps, PM if you need any more advice or help

I moved from HTC Sensation to N4, battery life is miles better. With HTC S, I went from green to yellow battery in the first couple of hours. A few videos, photos, facebook, emails and a couple of calls would drain the battery. With the N4 I took about 20 photos, 5 videos at a concert, fb, calls and even an hour playing music and still had half the battery by night time.
I have suffered from a cracked screen though and have sent it off to LG for repair (hopefully will cost about £140 or less!!) they esitmate £60 to £100. Very brittle phone!!!!

30 Jan 13#314
I too had this problem, I had to phone the back in order to get them to authorise the payment which was strange... its seems that Google make a £1 debit when you add the card to your Google Wallet and then when you buy the phone it comes as another transaction... because there are 2 transactions it may flag up at your bank saying so (I use barclays, so yours may or may not be similar).
I believe you can cancel a transaction only if its in the first hour! stupid I know!

Ordered one at 3pm, payment failed using my VISA (?) so I placed a new order at 3.30pm using my MASTERCARD and that completed fine. Now I check my account and I have two phones on order as payment has been taken for the first order with my VISA even though it failed and card has been removed from my Google wallet?
I phoned Google and they have no explanation and I cannot cancel 1 order even though phones have not been posted. Worst service ever, guess ill have to take it up with my bank. Google receipt even states "you will not be charged until you order has shipped".
rofldinho
30 Jan 132#309
Another point to make - I think 4G will only be genuinely useful once battery life gets to the level where it needs to be, i.e. you can use all functions on a phone for a full day or two without having to charge. There's no point streaming videos online on your phone with 4G if the battery is dead within half a day because the screen and connectivity being turned on drains the battery. At present this is a major problem with all top end smartphones - battery tech hasn't advanced enough, whereas the rest of the tech is constantly advancing.

30 Jan 13#288
8GB is not enough for people like me who like their apps, just having a couple of apps, and 1 or 2 big games (1GB+) and it quickly goes, even if you are using play music for cloud streaming. Cloud streaming isn't the best though, because I personally do not have an unlimited data plan, and what if i want to listen to music and have no reception for internet... I'm not convinced that cloud storage can replace physical storage, I just find it a nice feature for people using multiple devices, i like sharing files between my phone, tablet and laptop in cloud storage

Google music is great. Yep you're screwed if you have no data access, though obviously you can still keep a reasonable amount of music on your device if you want, the capacity may not be great bit its also not that tiny.
Its not really worth all the debate, if you really don't think 16GB is enough and are not happy with the streaming solution then this simply isn't the phone for you. However if you are fine with it, then its a great phone for the money.

Also all the talk of no 4G I would like to point out that if your with EE and have a 4G contract this obviously wont be your choice of phone as a primary device but if you dont yet have a 4G plan then why worry about it not having 4G.
4G is still 2 years away from being anywhere near an affordable rival to 3G and the incrediable speeds will slow when more traffic picks up as well as being restricted by allowance caps or download limits.
So if you want to pay for it fine but if like most you would cry at the price of 4G just now or the download limits imposed, by the time it is a viable alternative to 3G and offers the likes of GiffGaff pricing and no limits you will be on your next phone anyway which will have lte
So no 4G. Dont sweat it. It would cost a fortune to run and limits restrict how much you could use it to its potential
Mark43 to Kenneth131

Not sure if I should sell my galaxy note and get this. It's a bit expensive at the moment though and would cost me about £100 for the upgrade based on cex's current going rates.
Kenneth131 to Spark
30 Jan 13#261
If your happy with the note keep it. Its still a cracking capable device and over on XDA developers site there are plenty of custom roms which you could run which will make the note feel like a whole new device again.
If you are willing to take the hit on the £100 for this then you know you will have a device to last 2 years minimum if your inclined to stick with it should you like it for that length of time.
Its still not perfect but then nothing ever will be otherwise they wouldnt have anything to sell you in a years time. it is however a cracking device but its a different demographic to the note so depends on needs and wants

OMG the Nexus fever strikes again. I hope Google don't make a mass of it this time.
Got one last time round. Very good phone if you consider the price. My main concern was battery life - it is acceptable. Coming from a 2000mAh Galaxy S2 it was a bit of a let down. But the phone easily lasted through a the day if I mostly used wi-fi. On 3g modem it was slightly worse. And heavy use depleted the battery rather quickly.
Vanilla Android is a little disappointing as well. I missed the samsung dialer and capacitive buttons plus the physical home button.
Sold mine eventually and kept the Samsung.
DonkeyKonk to basergorkobal
30 Jan 13#255
Very good points. This Vanilla android thing is nice, and i really liked it on my Nexus S compared to gingerbread / touchwiz but having jellybean / touchwiz on say the s2 has its benefits. My s2 would almost appear at first glance to be vanilla jellybean (I don't run Samsung apps, etc), but has the Samsung extras hidden away, such as fm radio, SkySports TV, etc.

The white one will be anounced wether its carrier exclisive will be another matter.
One thing to note I hear people saying the screen bezel is black on the white version and thus is a lazy way to make a white handset, This is true as it means very little change to the production line.
But the other reason this is done is and you can check this all you want, a white bezel often does not look as uniform when watching a movie etc as it gives you a white border around the display, it catches the users eye and also has the illusion of a smaller screen.
I only know this through work i have done with some mobile companies. Apple dont seem to bother with this and to my mind yes I think a fully white phone looks lovely but when using one especially in daylight it does glare abit and distract you from the screen.
So thats why the front will be black chose of which you will as being the real reason. I like to think a bit of both.
It does however at pressent have black buttons. I really would hope this changes in final production otherwise it might as well have a star wars logo on it and call it a stormtrooper

Kenneth131
30 Jan 13#249
lol last years spec. Indeed it toped or matched that of high end devices which were out last year but even if new devices are anounced at MWC in feb you will be looking at launch about july august and with a heafty price tag to match.
So absolutly there will be newer greater tech this year but with a much higher price point. In tech terms the year runs from Q3 year 1 to Q2 year two, not from January to Feb.
Some companies like apple and google set aside seperate launch events which usually run about August time,
plus the nexus was only released 3 months ago so its not old by any means.
also people moaning about support the support time on any mobile is 2 years regardless of manufacturer. Thats the support time that is set out. If they feel they can easily or inexpensivly continue beyond this where there is a need they might well do so but its a guide line minimum of 2 years. so no manufacturer or Software company is better than any other in this respect as its industry wide

ordered, can't wait. this and the full monty t-mobile sim, quality!
I would like to point out any issues with shipping times and delivery are not handled in any way by Google in the UK. If you have an issue with your order etc etc your best bet is to call Google support and talk to them.
The way Delivery & returns are handled in the US and UK are COMPLETLY different.
UPS offer a great service over in the states. In the UK TNT and a 3rd party distribution company deal with all shipping and returns.
So you place your order. It then goes on a spreadsheet style system which goes to the distributer ( i cant remember the name just now)
They handle many large companies stock however so google is not their only priority.
once they recieve all the orders they work through them in batches to get them to TNT who then deliver
Google simply have the payment system and order service.
so before slating google look to the ones actually handling the stock. :neutral_face:

DocDock
30 Jan 13#235
So nothing out of the ordinary then. I did a comparison with sensation using this site and the battery seems to be more powerful so i'm assuming it'll last a bit longer. Going to have to see if i can sell my sensation. If i can get a decent price i'll definitely consider getting the Nexus 4.
I'm not too sure how long i've had my sensation, probably nearly 2 years i think. I was considering getting an IPhone 4S late last year but obviously seeing as they've been superseeded by the 5 i don't think i'll bother. Also thought about a galaxy s3, but they seem quite dear and the size of the device puts me off slightly. As i say if i can sell my sensation i'm going to seriously consider getting one of these.

Kudos to you sir for that reply it was truly excellent. I just dont understand it as DHL, CityLink and DPD all offer better services for the customer as well as offering things like doorstep exchange programs so why use TNT. I have raised this but its nothing to do with google and all to do with who the distributer uses in the UK as google use a 3rd party to distribute the handsets in the UK if i remember the name of the company il post it up as it will no doubt help someone at somepoint chase up an order or retrun

Yep, how long have you had your sensation ? This should last you about 20months before you feel like upgrading.
In two weeks this will be 'old' anyway, HTC bringing out a new flagship phone and S4 coming out soon too, but its a good phone for the price, I myself didn't want to spend £500 on a phone, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is still worth about 340 new, so this phone is more worth while.

Not at the moment, 4G plans are expensive and pointless. Once 4G becomes the standard and unlimited data is offered, then it'll be useful. Because at the moment the kind of usage that 4G requires will go over your monthly data allowance in about 5 minutes.

To order or not to order - that is the question!

I wanted one of each and ordered earlier but then realised by ordering separately i had paid 2 lots of postage so i then did another order for one of each.
I then tried to cancel my 2 original orders but received the following reply :
Thanks for contacting Google Play regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.
Although we attempted to honor your request, we were unable to cancel your order in this window.
So if i'm to believe that it has already been shipped but i'm sceptical !

You must have missed this thread, some real idiots around..
I love mine to bits, had a HTC One X before that and downgrades are obviously the screen, camera and 32GB on the HOX, however this is all made up with the software. Nexus devices will get the latest software updates and no need to wait around for OEMs to update their devices. I though I would miss Sense but the customisations of stock android are very decent, and may alternatives to make up for the loss of Sense. Space for me is not an issue as I make use of the cloud solutions, why keep everything on the phone chances are you'd lose it or it'd get stolen always makes sense to back up everything to the cloud and locally.
Good price, good phone, sure 2013 phones are around the corner but prices will be much higher than this. And we will get Key Lime Pie sooner rather than later!

Google service is woeful, in my experience.
Ordered a Google Nexus 7 in November - they quoted 3-5 working days for delivery. Nothing after 7 w/days so contacted them (on a Thursday). They blamed US Thanksgiving hols for the delay & told me it should be with me the next morning, or Monday at the VERY latest. (Even though the device was being dispatched from Dublin) Needless to say, nothing arrived.
Phoned again the next Wednesday to be told the couriers must have lost it... and that I should try to track it down with them!
I reminded them that my purchase contract was with Google, not the couriers, so they were responsible for getting the goods to me, not vice versa. They then stated they would cancel the original order - provided I signed a Consent Form for the original device to be 'deactivated'. This would mean waiting for the form to be posted to me, completing it and posting it back to them before they would re-order a new one - which would take... another 3-5 working days for delivery!. They refused to take any further action or expedite delivery until this process was done.
So they were told to stick it & I went to Currys and bought something else.
3 weeks later a card from a courier arrived at my door telling me no-one was home when they tried to deliver it that day & how to collect it. Promptly binned.
Another lost sale. They really need to up their game.

I'd love one, but why does there have to be talk of a new version cropping up at MWC, it's less than a month away.........
Hopefully it's only a white version (pictures are around) and will suit chavs/ those who secretly harbour some degree of racism; but if its a version with 32gb or an sd card slot....is it worth waiting to see?
The price of the Nexus 7 dropped after the larger capacity version was released, maybe it will be the same for the N4??
steve019 to Chulmney_Warner
30 Jan 13#22
That's the trouble with technology. You'll always find something better and faster is released not far after you've made your purchase.
As for the rumoured N4 v2, I would imagine it would be higher storage options and the activation of the currently dormant 4G chip.

The lack of stock is a surefire way to create a FAR bigger demand than the item would usually carry, so, in my conspirical mind, Google have outdone themselves in generating huge amounts of publicity and demand, simply by them being 'out of stock'...
The more you can't have something, the more you want it! Even if you didn't really want it in the first place...

I will give my experience of this phone and service from Google for anyone on the fence.
I bought one on launch form the play store, It was a cluster£$%^ from the start due to backorders etc but i forgave that anyway for the massive demand they saw for this.
Anyway it arrived the first week in Dec and through the worst possible courier in my opinion.
TNT they are £$&%*£* useless. Both phone and bumper came in bags that were torn to hell and taped back up by TNT. The N4 box was crushed and trying to get them to deliver to anywhere but the address on the delivery note is not going to happen as the company Google use for distribution will only allow them to deliver to the original address.
Anyway the device came and it was damaged no doubt through the abuse it was subjected to at TNT.
I waited a month for a returns bag and at that I couldn't hand it into the TNT office as it needed to go through a booking process over the phone even although everything is pre paid and bag provided from TNT and costs covered by google.
Long story short phone is awesome. Google could not be more helpful although you have to speak to the Customer service in the US so they dont really know what happens in the UK.
Google dont really care about the 28days return etc as long as you log a call with them to return the item before the deadline they will happily refund the money once the device is received back to the supplier or distribution (depending if you want a replacement or refund)
so
Google service = Awesome
Nexus 4 = awesome phone
TNT = no customer service, unhelpful and potentially careless with items.
You wont find another device close for this price and even with all the previous heartache and headache through TNT I have once again to place an order and hopefully I will get this one in one piece.

I find this story very hard to believe. I have read it twice and it still seems to lack veracity. Are you really trying to convince us that TNT actually DELIVERED something to you? Really?
Years of bitter experience have taught me that TNT's usual modus operandi is to lose all despatches in transit and then to take weeks 'investigating' before denying all knowledge. I think you made this all up. There is no way you could have got your phone from them in whatever state of repair. Even if you got down on your knees and cried and begged.

First two times that these were released I was definitely going to get one, especially as I had the Nexus S before.
(Ps to folk saying how you get the great updates, and support over a longer time, well the Nexus S was supported for just 2 years from release, the 4.1.2 update was confirmed as the last, so yes Nexus did get the update WELL before S2, but both have had support for approx 2 years....Also 4.1.2 I find to be quite sluggish on the Nexus S, but very smooth on the S2)
Really doesn't appeal to me at all now. Got my S2 for £170, it's on 4.1.2, really impressed with it.
The Nexus 4 doesn't appear to be the great bargain it did a couple of months ago. It is good, but with limitations. To me the 16gb model is basically a £300 phone, at best, so the price is not that amazing.

So basically every single time you want to look at a photo, play a song, access something that could've been on a 32GB microSD card you need to use data or a wi-fi connection? Bloody weird and a waste of data/internet bandwidth if you ask me!
And yes, I know 16GB is a lot of storage on a phone... but really, throwing everything else onto an online server just seems a total waste!

Is there a search shortcut on the phone or do u need to tap the search bar as such
Kenneth131
30 Jan 13#139
Yeah this phone is awesome because some components are above that of the Samsung GS3. others are on par. The price however is that of a mid range smartphone not the high end device it is. So you have an amazing phone more than capable of rivaling all modern high end devices for a superb price point.
Plus as its a nexus you know it will get around a 2 year upgrade path from google not an oem who will customize the android os and possibly never release the latest build for your phone.
Down side mobile world congress is acoming and in about a month you will have all the latest 2013 phones flaunted in your face but you have to remember although these WILL be better than anything at the moment most wont be available until July August and have a price point around the £500 + mark.
so the nexus is a case where you get more than what you pay for which is rare

Im replacing the s3 for the nexus as i'd rather just have all nexus devices, got the nexus 10 so would like to just stick to the nexus range. Also ive had 2 s3's die on me. they just stop charging and won't turn on so worried mine will do that again. plus like the nexus devices get the updates first. Can sell my s3 for £350- £400 anyway.

30 Jan 131#137
oh dear.. it's like the last few weeks all over again. good luck to those who order!

30 Jan 13#134
As a lot of people have said, no MicroSD, well, what is the point...
That's why I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab over a Nexus, and that's why my next phone won't be a Nexus.
Google, get with the bloody program, you're losing sales over one piddly thing most manufacturers consider a basic!

The missus just told me that O2 stores are offering the Nexus 4 with Unlimited minutes and texts and a gig of data for £26 a month with no upfront fee on a 24 month contract. Apparently the offer ends today. She got one today and I'll be getting one too and will report back. This was Trafford Centre O2 but may be nationwide.

Use Google Music to upload your music library to the cloud
Sign up to Dropbox and get a 2GB account, set to automatically upload photos. Eventually you should earn an extra 5GB of space
SkyDrive has 7GB of free cloud storage
Thats 14GB of storage there, also consider Google Drive, Cubby, Box etc

If storage is a problem, why switch when the S3 has a micro sd slot and this doesn't? Try using cloud storage to save space.

As others have said phones with equivalent or lesser specs are £100-£200 more. The reviews say this is a better phone than the Galaxy S3 for instance which is around £400 sim free so it is indeed a deal/bargain as you are getting more for your money.

Well the S3 does everything the N4 does so no point in upgrading, they are in the same class.
Well as we don't know what the specs are of the S4 how can you say its not better? It will most certainly have a faster processor, a 1080p screen and a better camera which are the main features people pay for in a phone.
shah09
30 Jan 13#87
Apparently the Xperia Z software is almost minimalistic from what I've heard/read so far. The operating system isn't really much of a factor for me as it will get an upgrade soon after the Nexus I'm sure.
kkh786
30 Jan 13#86
I think the Motorola "X" Phone will be one to wait for.. it may or may not be the next Nexus but it will definitely have the second fastest update regime if not the same as the Nexus line!
It is meant to have a crazy battery and be "unbreakable" = sold for me! :smiley:
PS. This is from a current RAZR i owner.. I have been more than impressed with the Motorola hardware quality!

Z will have a better camera (especially low-light), bigger screen, but have rubbish software, and no upgrade path from the OS it shipped with.
I sold my Xperia S and bought a Nexus4 and i'm overjoyed. It's an amazing phone, and I would have been happy to pay £450+ for it... (shhhsh, don't tell Google/LG).

Its not RRP, look anywhere but google play and you will get at RRP, Google are selling at a heavily subsidised loss/breakeven point which is below RRP. Crazy move from the product owner but thats what it is. RRP ~£400.

In the meantime, those of us on this site who understand the dictionary definition of a deal (e.g. A bargain) shall carry on with our day.
You bought the phone from Google for £288
The £288 is charged to your payment card and google would have received an authorization code from your bank. This allows them to request the money from your bank.
In the mean time your bank puts £288 into a suspense account where it sits pending from 3-5 days
Since google wont actually charge you until it ships they money shows off your available £££ in your bank account but it has not been claimed by google as they havent shipped your phone
So after 3-5 days. If your phone hasnt shipped £288 will fall back into your account.
Then when the phone ships the £288 will be processed again and this time google will clime the money and you will see £288 Google play order on your transactions list for your bank.
This is quite an american way of doing things as its taken you are paying by credit card. Even the play store asks what credit card you want to pay with.
If you had paid with a credit card they transaction would go through just the same but you wouldnt notice the £288 being put into the pending state as its not YOUR money your being restricted to accessing it would only be £288 of credit available.
Its more down to the fact its always been advised to use a credit card on the play store and pretty much the norm for americans to pay for most on a credit card where as here in the uk we use our debit cards more which is why this happens.
If you see in about 3-5 days the funds will become avail again unless google ship the phone, in which case you will see the payment on your statement

If you do go for a Windows phone have a look at the Samsung Ativ S (now on ebay too as going back to S3) - my partner got the Samsung and I got the Nokia at about the same time and the Samsung is just nicer, lighter and has a better camera in real life.
Also looked into Razr phones - because of the better battery.
Hi Daughter :stuck_out_tongue:
Nexus 4 limited warranty
.
So first class service I think and no sending off my broken device for them to examine and then send back, which I was thinking could of taken weeks - just a straight replacement.
But any one else getting a Hissing or buzzing sound near the ear piece or screen - even when not making a call and when the screen is active??
I have 4 of these (2 replacements) with the same hissing issue.
EDIT: Replacement arrived on schedule and worked fine. This is a great phone!

Your estimated time of delivery will be determined at the point that your order has been processed and shipped. It may take 24 hours for the TNT package tracking to return any information for your tracking number.
If you have not received a package tracking number after 24 hours have passed, please contact our support team.

I have got lumia 800, although it's not bad, it doesn't have all the apps you might like to use. Plus WP is all about scrolling. I had an Android before and wanted to try WP so bough lumia. Trust me, you would loose plenty of functionality. I am planning to buy nexus 4 when it comes in white (hope very soon).
I assume this issue is only for an unlucky minority but the people affected were basically ignored by Google and LG. Not encouraging in case the worst does happen....
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_nexus_4_e960-5048.php
powerful phone. ...
Highly recommended. I would easily buy a second one if I needed it.
Got mine rooted and running PACMAN. Excellent value for money - hope the next generation offers the same value!
It was never a deal in the first place as it was the standard price, obviously prices were going to be higher on the high street as it's the high street which are always more expensive and people wanted to make profits on it due to it being out of stock.
Also it's LG and has possibly the worst speaker, mic capture and camera of any smartphone on market now. Oh, it also has a low contrast screen, hold it next to iPhone 5's LCD or Samsung's AMOLED's and the colours look washed out on the same picture. The quicker Google leave LG, the better.
1. Not broken front or back (I'm reasonably convinced that not dropping it or hitting it on hard things helps).
2. Doesn't lag in any way, nor does it freeze or have a video loading issue. Only bug is occasional bluetooth lockup which is solved by a reboot.
3. Battery life is perfectly normal for a smartphone, and noticeably better since the most recent update.
It's a ridiculously good phone for the price. The end.
Other than that my only problem with it has been the common video loading issue on youtube where you have to go in and out of aeroplane mode to get it to actually play videos every so often
If you are talking about price at a phone shop, they sell it with a contract, which is value-adding, hence the premium.
Anyone else choosing to pay over the official Google price, out of contract, now that there's no stock shortage, should have their sanity checked.

Was the carphone warehouse deal. Can look at it in various ways tbh. Was something like 580 over 2 years, ultd data/5000texts/500mins on 3, minus 35 quidco, so 545 over 2 years.
I was already paying 13 a month sim only for the same contract but with 300 mins less per month, working out at 312 over 2 years. A 600 min contract would be 16 per month, so the 500 min contract is worth around 15, leaving you at 360 over 2 years.
So technically you could say that the phone only cost me 230 quid-ish if you take into account just the price I'd be paying for just the sim only contract alone. Its also the cheapest unlimited data contract you can get at 13 quid. This isnt even considering the 300 extra minutes and 16gb card. The £45 worth of free apps come with all Note 2 purchases, but theres also a £20 video hub voucher if thats your thing.
I could also quite easily have sold it and used the profit towards a note 3 or any other phone.
im off to post penny chews for a penny and watch the temperature soar.
good phone, but can't understand how this got to 3000+
great deal great phone
second best deal ever live atm on here
so how can any one argue this is not a great deal
please explain that to me
there are a lot of people who have never heard of this phone
the deal
and how good it is
lets save a few people from spending more money than they have too on a phone thats not as good as this one
and if a better deal better phone comes on here it will be decided in heat
not by hukd members calling each other names
thank you
and thanks for the personal comment
no i am not thick
i did well at school O levels
did well at college A levels
and did well at uni degree
I have a very good job and do not class my self as thick or a noob
can we stick to this deal and leave out the personal comments please
:wink:
is it still for sale
I would just add to anyone currently on an iphone and looking at an android phone - If you love your iphone (and the way apple want you to do things) the chances are high you wont like android so I certainly wouldn't jump ship without trying one first. Ive never got on with anything from Apple, but thats just me (i find them the opposite of easy to use! Nothing is ever where i think it should be.)
http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/nexus-4-back-in-stock-in-the-uk-50010301/
point to me i think
your serve
:smirk:
where did you get it from ?
its in stock now which is the most important thing
why would you not want this thread on here ?
a great phone at the cheapest price
from a great seller all boxes ticked for a hot deal
may i ask again why would you or any one not want this deal live
sim card deal is even older this one requires no updates as yet
just because you have seen the deal new members all the time would miss out
I'd have been lucky to get 2 hours of hd youtube playback.
The battery life was also terrible. Was running with stock settings with all the google tracking crap set to off, and only getting 3 hours at most screen time. In stark contrast to the previous phone I had (iPhone 5), which got around 7 hours before dying.
Switched to a Note 2 which is getting 6-7 hours screen time on wifi, but with Google Now tracking my steps and all the fancy privacy invasion GPS crap on, sucking away in the background. Its not much bigger than the Nexus 4 either.
if not then thats you question answered ?
best deal best phone
p.s please post deal if u did find cheaper
i have looked and looked and looked
:laughing:
what i think a hot deal is
a deal that is the cheapest that can be found on a product by a decent seller
and the best phone by a country mile
luv it
For people asking about cases, I've gone a Niilkin flip case. Had to get it sent from China but it's a really nice, good value case. Just search it on eBay to have a look.
Thinking get this and one of the ovivo sims
Case wise I went for this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Leather-Xylo-Pouch-Case-Cover/dp/B009YV8HRY
The new nexus devices wont be out until the new iphone and ipad are announced at the end of the year now, as I'm assuming google will want to steal Apple's thunder.
These phones still go for close to their RRP used on ebay, 5 months after launch, so you wont lose much should you decide to upgrade down the line.
The stupid americans (no really, they are thick as mince, complaining about 500 quid cost for an unlocked Google S4) get the only good thing from I/O.
CJ
Great Stuff and what a bargain!
Love the "raw" Android system, rather than Samsung, or whoever else's versions.

PS Got the wife one too and she's over the moon with it.

it beats all by a country mile
great quality

we love this and my wife has it surgically attached to her hand!!!!
i had to get one as well and its way better than my iphone 5 which had terrible signal
so many many thanks op for making me aware of this amazing phone
i have now been released from being one of the zombies walking the earth looking for apple products!!!!!
Its a great phone, lots are comparing to iphone 5, they both do things better and worse than each other id say. But at the end of the day the nexus is £240 cheaper but its not half as worse :smiley:
I have used this and it has worked flawlessly, it even worked on the underground as it cached lots of songs.
Delivery is expensive but it said 3-5 days at the basket, but I got mine next day and I ordered the afternoon before, including the case.
'Google now' is cool too, swipe up from the bottom :smiley: (not currently on iphone).
Theres a few niggles, but it does do things better than the iphone and vice versa, swings and roundabouts. The integration of the google stuff is great.
If looking for a bargain phone that is high quality, get this.
Noticed a slight defect with the screen, with what looked like pressure being applied on the screen causing patterning when using the touch screen. Called Google and explained the issue, they are issuing me a new phone at no cost. I can return the defective phone within 21 days of placing the new phone order which is great! So no need to send old phone back first. Brilliant customer service. No extra delivery charges or anything.
So far so good. No regrets with this phone or with moving to android!
Highly recommend this phone to anyone.
I am glad I went for it, great phone!
Impressive! :smiley:
Also, how are people finding the battery life on this? I'm going from an Sony Erricson walkman phone to a smartphone, so i don't really know what to expect.
Thinking of getting one but obviously would be annoyed if the price cam down soon after.
And you wanted a temporary phone for 7 days?
Sounds like you want the moon on a stick to me.
Is the Nexus 4 better than the iPhone 5? No.
Is the iPhone 5 better than the Nexus 4? No.
But the Nexus 4 is much better value for money, and seeing as how I already have a Nexus 7 I am very pleased with the Nexus 4.
If it had not been for the Nexus 7 I would never have given my iPhone 5 to the wife and got a Nexus 4.
Nuff said.
Sticking to my S3 for now and may just get one of the 3 hot phones on contract, xperia z, htc one, samsung galaxy s4
I contacted Google and was told they would arrange for it to be picked up. It's a long process. They send you an email, which you have to print, then you have to wait for a post sticker. I understand it arrives 7 days later.
They agreed to supply me with a another phone provided they could block my card with the new amount. I explained the phone was rooted and that the packaging was tampered with and therefore I should not be penalised, but they didn't appear to care.
Needless to say, I did not agree to my card being authorised bearing in mind I had already paid for the defective phone.
I can honestly say this is the most impressed I've been in a phone for a long time.
Now, it might be my expectations were low, (I sold my 64GB iPhone 5, for £550, and got this for £240, so just something half as good would have pleased me) but honestly, the only thing I can say bad against this phone is the camera. Not pleased with that, but I have a couple of nice cameras so not the end of the world.
Love the widgets, always used iTunes match, but Google Play does the same, for free, and replaced all my iPhone apps via Google Play, and they do just the same, aside from my Sonos App, (hopefully that will change).
Anyone considering it I would say go for it.
You can easily flash the radio to enable LTE again. So it is a 4g device. Limited countries where it will work I'll admit, but can be 4G no problem
Like millions of others once they launch a 4G 32GB model for a competitive price I'm in.
The Nexus screen is bigger, and you can customise Android a lot. In my opinion, the Nexus looks a bit better from the front than the iphone 4S too. Not sure about the sparkly back and plastic sides on the Nexus though.
The 4S build quality is better, and app support in terms of quality and quantity is generally better with Apple. As I said a page ago, I wasn't impressed with the maximum volume level and hissing when connected to an in car aux port with the Nexus. For that reason alone, I'd go with Apple.
It won't work on LTE which EE use but orange and T-Mobile are fine. Considering some are showing 19Mbs downloads on this phone I can't see paying a premium for 4g EE worthwhile at present?
LTE is a big omission from the N4 but screw it. Who really needs those kinds of speeds anyway?!
Not quite as fast but most UK carriers offer it with no extra charge unlike the crazy prices of 4GEE
Unfortunately I will give the deal a miss because until I see phones with 5000mAh batteries and higher I will not be buying a phone with batteries which can't be removed.
I do think the glass is a design choice and personally I like it (aesthetically and for the 'premium' feel). But then, I've never had to actually live with a phone with a glass back...
I have read blogs, reports and posts saying pre 2013 nexus 4 models didn't have gorilla glass 2 on the back though? Idk.
That said, stupid design decisions like putting glass on the back don't really help the situation. Considering it was a massive design flaw on the iPhone4/4S, I can't understand why Google/LG thought it'd be a good idea. Still, easily resolved with a rear cover.
max11: I personally can't see the 4g being an issue until the major carriers are up and running with it - by that time this phone will have been superceded.
thank you
Can you take the battery out of this phone? Would never buy one where you can't replace batteries.
However: the Bluetooth issue. I have built in Bluetooth in my car. It pairs and connects fine, but doesn't accept voice commands to answer: no matter what I try it won't answer. There isn't a
There are a couple of threads on Google and Android forums to this effect. It's due to an update in Jellybean that has broken it. There isn't a swipe override on the phone to answer either, so your calls go unanswered, which is a PITA.
Just a warning if you rely on Bluetooth headsets or built in car versions, there's not eta for the fix yet either.
However apart from that it is a highly customisable, fast and smooth phone and I don't regret buying mine.
I dont really know how it happened - I have not kept the phone with keys or anything sharp in my pockets apart from a oyster wallet.
I did drop it once and it slided on my wooden flooring - thats the only one time I have dropped it and thats where I think the scratch has come from.
I dropped my iPhone 4S few times same way on my wooden flooring and no scratch on it.
Tried with a diff google account? Maybe your google account has had purchases disabled?
The phone will remain unlocked to all networks, forever however please be aware you will need a micro-sim for this phone though.
No it will be fine, you can put in whatever SIM you want whenever you want as its SIM free = not locked to any particular carrier.
It will always be SIM Free.
(assuming you bought it off Google Play)
TIA
Its gorilla glass 2 ffs, something far better than the iPhone and correct me if I'm wrong Samsung fan kids, but its the same as the sgs glass. Seriously, Samsung users becoming the new Apple fans, bashing anything that isn't Samsung (when quite clearly its better, IMO)
If you're that careless, the same would have happened to any other phone on the market so you cannot uses the fact it scratched as denoting it cheap and crap, don't be so cheap yourself and in vest in a decent protector, gee.
Now if you want a nexus, buy one. If you want an iPhone, buy one. If you want Samsung junk, buy one. If you want HTC, buy one. Quit bashing other tech, buy what you want and grow the hell up.
Ty
EDIT: Just for my own reassurance I checked and the SGS3 is GG2 also, so anyone moaning can shut up, you're welcome.
All have their advantages and disadvantages.
For the record I have a Nexus 4, but want a 5s in a few months time just to give iOS a go mainly because I want the CHOICE of MORE apps (that I'll probably never use) but also why I wouldn't go Windows.
For ME the only negative with the Nexus 4 is the camera, good but not great.
Battery is fine 1 day is enough for a smartphone in MY opinion.
4G is to young for ME to want to pay the premium THIS year.
16GB is enough for ME at the moment too (with Dropbox or Box or Google Drive or Sky Drive as additional options)
Buy what meets YOUR need and enjoy what YOU have, bearing in mind that YOUR fabulous SMARTphone will be old news come 6-12 months down the line.
It's gonna be a big year for phone-tech this year and every year going forward.
HTC One, Sony Xperia Z, Samsung S4, iPhone5s, Nexus 5, Note 3...the choice is yours....ENJOY
:smirk:
A few free apps I recommend you get:
Carbon - Does full backups without rooting (including to the cloud)
Light Flow Light - Get different coloured notifications for different events (purple for texts, green for email and so forth)
Met Office - Great weather widget
Nova - Allows better customisation of the desktop including removal of the search bar
FX - File Browser
AndroZip - Open compressed files
Box - 50GB of free cloud storage
MX Player - Great media player
Power Toggles - Toggle buttons in notification screen (including a flash light)
I guess it depends on how you use it... especially as you're only getting a day. I get three days!
Is it about the same size as a Galaxy S3? Or is it miles smaller like iPhone 4ish sized?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1910
Got one of these today, can anybody suggest a decent case and possibly screen protector for one of these?
I had reservations myself prior to buying about the battery and memory card situation but thought back and couldn't remember a time when I had my Xperia Arc (14 months) that I needed to remove either for any reason, so went for the N4.
How am I deluded... you're deceived into thinking the Samsung is worth an extra £100+ for a removable battery.
If you're so against the Nexus, why are you even here?
I'm not going to sit here and say it's the best phone ever made but for me it's the best solution to MY requirements
For todays use(on a normal work day) I took phone off charge at 7AM, currently after 7h 17 mins on battery it's at 77%, and screen usage is 1h 5 mins, i.e. 1h screen = 25% battery or thereabouts. I've never gone to the extreme of using it for 4 hours solid to prove it would drain in that time as the drain does change(when not in use a battery monitor shows very little use whilst idle i.e. 1-2% over a 3-4 hours if that.
I've always used androids with removable batteries and expandable storage for the reason of not being without power and I like my music/films on the device rather than on the cloud and dependant on data access. I'll admit even with the 16Gb I'm not overly happy as I've been used to 32Gb minimum. For battery life I prefer knowing I can swap(or at least having the option of a "power case", as yet there aren't really any for this phone). It's an excellently built phone and I enjoy using it but something just doesn't sit right with me I am not sure what though. I've took up a contract this morning on the other deal for a 64Gb Iphone/£20 contract, I needed a new contract at some point but the memory and availability of power cases (if not a removable battery) have swayed me for now.
I know Google want data to be in the cloud but for what I do and where I do it there are still too many times I am without data/wi-fi and/or power that make me more happier knowing I have storage and options for power more available.
I may live to regret it as I've never used an iPhone for any length of time before. But whilst I can get a decent price back for my Nexus I am thinking of sacrificing it for now. I know that will have some people thinking I'm add but for my circumstances it makes sense to me which is what matters. Maybe in 12/24 months time things may have moved on and I would be happy to move back to a restricted phone like a Nexus, but I also still see why I would go for a Galaxy for the benefit of removable battery/storage(I switched to the Nexus from an S2)
Besides I get 36 hours battery out of it and that includes bluetoothing music to my speakers. Also for the same price of a SGS3 battery I got a rechargable Duracell external battery pack with TWICE the capacity of a phone battery
If you're gonna spend another 100+ quid just for an SD card slot, go ahead... I'm happy cause I have a better phone than that Samsung crap :smiley:
Out of interest, with a lot of use, how long does the battery really last? Having spare batteries with me has been a lifesaver before.
The back's finish isn't very good (looks scuffed up) and the grey rubber can fall off - however many people vouch for the customer service they have. They will deliver an exchange no questions asked, and you keep the faulty case. I replaced mine no problems.
Has anyone bought a Ballistic Case for there phone? Are they worth the extra money than other bumpers? If so can you reccommend were you bought it from? Or if not an alternative which you have bought?
I do need a good bumper it's for my husbands phone he works in a joinery factory so will probably get knocked about a little.
Thanks
I also had the notification on my Nexus 7 but have not installed it so that i can continue using Skygo.
And anyone else use the BBC news app to watch live - it stops buffering after 3 mins then you have to stop and start again.
Cant decide between the 8Gb or 16Gb.
How much space do videos and photos use up? Am I likely to fill the 8Gb up with a few photos and a bit of video?
If someone could advise on file sizes for photos and average Mb's per minute for 1080 video that would be a big help
Thanks :smiley:
Cynical of me to say it corresponded with the drop in price at CEX?
@john306 Please re-read my post.. you obviously did not comprehend it.
For anyone from Northern Ireland who is buying the phone, just note that they send it via 3, yes **3** different couriers just to get to us!
It goes;
UTI Take it:
Birmingham -> Dublin
GLS Take it:
Dublin -> Belfast
Parcelforce take it:
Belfast -> Your front door!
Very very strange but it did only take 48hours so no complaints here!!
Cracking lil phone, have just sold my iPhone 5 32GB now as I see no use in having the iPhone 5 & iPad 4 and the N4. I think im nw being coming an android lover lol
Cynical of me to say it corresponded with the drop in price at CEX?
far as i can tell, its a processor issue that messes up the speaker somehow. my replacement phone was waaaaay faster then my initial one
WHo was it delivered by? seems google wanted to screw us NI buyers by not using TNT :disappointed:
Sorry, your problem was?
As for the lack of SD, people keep moaning but I have the 8GB model with over 50 apps(all the apps I need should I say) and still have 3.8GB left and I have 40GB of music on Google Play Music... whats the problem?
Other things that I would add are that the SIII's AMOLED screen is very difficult to see in bright sunlight. Reviewers have said that the SIII camera is better in low light situations. My observation would be that there's very little difference. The SIII battery seems to last a little bit longer than the Nexus too, but not by much in my experience so far.
If you want an SD slot, get the sgs3
Mine takes me to some weird looking website with very little information on it. think its called techdata-europe??
Thanks :smiley:
ordered Saturday night 16gb
got dispatch email this morning at 8.05am
delivered into my work at 9.58am
just been having a play for an hour or so and very happy with phone (upgraded from Sony xperia s)
Edit . just checked my tracking number ''delivery refused , awaiting senders instruction'' ..
thanks
Or shud i just refuse the delivery ?
How long does it take to get my money back if i refuse the delivery ? Any experiences
Thanks

Idle battery drain is also important - download 'BetterBatteryStats' to get an idea of what is 'waking' up the CPU when the screen is off, and make the adjustments (reduce refresh times, uninstall drain-heavy apps).
Poor reception is another big factor. Typically staying on Wi-Fi drains less battery than on mobile data (wi-fi disables data connection)
Charged up fully, unplugged and left on with bluetooth and data overnight and it now reads 94% after 11 hours
Mine has never drained that quickly, and there is currently an update that improves the life a bit further too.
So yes, I'd say it would get you through the day!
Realistically is this going to last me all day?
had many nokia, samsung, iphone 5 blackberry and cheapo crap huweia or wotever this is simply amazing.
If u can afford this get it and you will have no regrets. my one is in a nice protective case, all my phones have had one as you can sell as new reccomended
wow blown away
thanks op i would never of considered this phone
Plus, I've paid a tenner for two day delivery and its been over two weeks, ill be trying to get that back.
Anybody else had this problem, and if so, have you made any further progress with google than i have?
Anybody else had this problem, and if so, have you made any further progress with google than i have?
Go to Settings -> Apps -> All
Find Google Services Framework.
Tap on Force Stop.
Select Clear Data.
Then go into about phone and check for update.
Thanks
If you want to get some protective film I'd go for invisible shield, just because it does't blemish as eailly compared to the cheap plastic ones, but it does have a slight orange peel affect. They are somewhat easier to apply as you apply with solution as well.
Personally just using the phone as it came, no cases.
On another note, I my Rearth Ringke Slim cases just arrived :smiley:
can anyone recommend a decent screen protector?
How much did you get the Poetic Bumper? It's £15 including P&P on Amazon UK right?
have gone for the poetic bumper.
The tax avoidance doesn't bother me but it seriously annoys me they have the audacity to charge ridiculous prices, They've made over £600 in just 1 year from ME ALONE!!
Thank you in advance.
Shipping email 14/02/2013 - 17:07
Attempted delivery 15/02/2013 - 09:41 (missed the courier)
(16gb version)
Still, without eBay I'd be quite a few hundred pounds poorer. The other alternatives are Cash Converters, CEX etc which I'm not a fan of. I've always saw them as dealing with stolen goods, especially Cash Converters (although I guess they've got a lot of barriers in place for that now), plus eBay opens up worldwide availability.
I should just say though that I've used websites like eBay and Amazon less and less since the tax avoidance stories came out. Bit ironic really since I bought a Nexus 4 directly from Google.
EDIT: Just looked it up, says they're being updated gradually although some Galaxy Nexus users report already having it... Kind of annoying if you ask me as it should be prioritised to Nexus 4, 7 & 8 users tbh!
I guess orders placed on the 30th have just fallen into a loophole never to be found. Now lets see if the phone reaches my hands....
Have to say, felt very apprehensive... but no need all came good in the end
Posted RMSD Friday 8th
Received by CeX on Monday 11th (order processing)
Tuesday 12th Order complete. Any payments or returns have been dispatched
Thursday 14th the full £344.00 paid into my bank account
Ordering a third one for keeps now :smile:
https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/paypal-fees
3.4% plus 20p.
Rip off when via bank its free. Just create a bank account for online trading.
- The CEX site clearly states it will take up to a week to confirm, grade and process payment (it took 6 days)
- Paypal took a cut of less than £2 which I don’t think is too bad bearing in mind the added security
- If I was CEX I would have seriously considered rejecting / returning the phone. Their online stock level alone is approaching a £50k loss based them selling each one at google's RRP - which they wont. Lots of people were concerned that CEX might have pulled the “Item damaged on arrival” card to limit their losses. If they had it would been almost impossible to prove otherwise.
Selling mine here if whoevers phone hasn't arrived.
I sold on the 6th-Feb and posted by 24hr courier on the 7th-Feb which was signed for on the 8th-Feb. I have just received confirmation of payment £344 – happy days.
CEX are currently selling online at £375 :confused: and have 517 instock :confused:
Google does not want to upset its manufacturing partners too much by selling too many of these phones. I think they will always be sold in limited batches to create a buzz and buying frenzy.
:smile:
Hopefully will ship tomorrow will update on how long it takes thanks
LOL at your username!
Something must have gone wrong with the orders placed in the evening on 30th Jan.
Anyway advice for those who are waiting, just order a new one and reject the first order when it eventually gets delivered.
Hope it comes quickly , been using the Samsung Galaxy S2 for last couple years now and its been a cracking phone to use. Hope the Nexus 4 can surpass it .
Will update when shipped, hope its fast :smiley:
Really? I must say i've not had this, are you sure your internet isnt just turned off? (remember signals/bars isnt the same as internet connection?)
What network are you on?
Another niggle with my N4 is the internet. Although my signal is 3 bar it says no network connection when I try and connect to the net. Often turning the device off and on again resolves it but I shouldn't be having to do that.
I bought three as they were coming from the states and chucked the other 2 on ebay for the price I paid for all 3 so got mine for free essentially! Should be noted that they're bringing out a 'Rearth Fusion' for the N4 which is similar to the 'Ringke Slim' but has a clear back, which I am waiting to go on sale :smiley:
I feel incredibly lucky. Hopefully everyone else gets theirs. What I'd suggest is trying to make a new order (if you're one of those who've been waiting since January) as it seems like their supply chain might be getting sorted out now, but is giving priority to newer orders for some reason. Possibly sending items from the back of the line out first and hoping those at "the front of the queue" will re-place their orders.
As for the above comments on a rattle inside the phone or a squeaky volume button - mine doesn't have any such symptoms. But then again, it has only been out of the box for about 30 minutes.
Seriously such a good phone, everything has its little 'niggles'
The camera rattle is distracting but not uncommon apparently. I read somewhere that it's the because the lens is sprungloaded so stabilise it, otherwise your pictures would come out wobbly. But for the money I paid I'm really not going to grumble :smiley:
As for the rattling camera, is it really that bad?! I hear a tiny clicking when I shake the phone but nothing when walking :s I presume its the barometer not the camera
People complain they can't hear me very well on it though. Apparently it sounds like I'm in a washing machine!
Then I also ordered another one. Lets see what happens.
I will keep you informed.
I'm one of the ones who didn't bother ordering until now and had to wait for stock to return. The missus' birthday on Friday so this will be a nice valentines and birthday gift!

When I ordered it last night, I was given a dispatch estimate of 28/02/2013, and I thought I had a long wait ahead of me. I guess not. I did notice this morning, however, that the shipping estimates on the Google Play shop page for the 8GB and 16GB had changed from 1-2 weeks and 2-3 weeks, to under 1 week and 1-2 weeks, respectively for the 8GB and 16GB models. This literally happened overnight. I queried the Google Customer Service via an e-mail about this and got a boring, bog-standard automated reply about shipping estimates.
Also, I came across a small hint in this thread which mentioned removing your debit/credit card details from your Google Play account (the one you're going to buy the Device with), then re-entering them onto your account and this can have an effect on how your order is processed. I did this, and it might just be coincidence but it might have worked. I wouldn't recommend doing it, but I gave it a chance which resulted in my order being processed and dispatched within 24 hours.
I don't know, maybe I have just been really lucky. I can feel the frustration in this thread. Google should be handling this better but if it's supplier problems with LG then hopefully Google will learn not to use them in the future (even though I prefer LG to some other Asian companies).
I'm one of the ones who didn't bother ordering until now and had to wait for stock to return. The missus' birthday on Friday so this will be a nice valentines and birthday gift!

All the people complaining about no touchwizz etc obviously haven't seen some of the custom roms like PA you can get for the Nexus 4. My girlfriends SG3 seems to have issues with it's Samsung bloatware interface anyway. Keeps crashing all the time.
Also anyone serious enough about photography which you would need to be bothered about any minute difference in these two phone cameras would be buying a stand alone compact or SLR anyway.
Called customer service a number of time explaining something has gone wrong in the processing as others ordering after the 30th get their orders very soon after.
Customer service always reply with not being able to comment on other orders, everything is fine i.e. Estimated dare is the 13 and that has not elapsed yet.
Morons just dont want to do a more detailed check to see if there is truth in others getting orders sooner and doing a more detailed check (with their distributor) as to what is going on!
I bet the issue is that a whole batch or order details have never reached the distributor, or have been lost by the distributor.
Shame Google wont bother to look into it until after the 13th.
google seriously need to sort out their sales team
What time did you order it? I ordered 30th 20:00 UK GMT.
Delivered 12.2. around noon
And i was scared it'll be in 2 weeks.
Personally I dont think thats bad at all?
As for all this talk about the camera, I've come from a SE C905 which had a stunning camera. At first I thought the camera on the n4 was shocking and was set to return it. When I called Google CS the guy asked if I could send a picture to them which I did and he said there was an issue with the handset. One factory reset later and its fine. Not as good as the c905 but a good camera nonetheless. Needs more manual intervention than I'm used to but that isn't a deal breaker. You won't get more bang for your buck imo
so i know i will be lucky if it ships this week
anyone else in a similar position?
As for the reviews, I dont know about you guys but I personally think the pictures here look better on the Nexus, they're arguing that the blue is from the sky but I'm sorry, if my eyes don't see it that way when I'm outside then its not right :s
Seriously annoys me that people are denoting this phone as 'bland' simply because it has no Sense, Touch wiz or other bulky UI and they havent read any guide on how to get to all the shorcuts and such. of course the SGS3 will excel in some areas, the same as the iPhone and and other phone... just like this, most noticeably it amazing spec for such a little cost!
People want everything these days for pennies, well its not going to happen and if you're the kinda of person thats got expendable cash to sell your SGS 3 and buy this, thinking you're going to get a super phone then you're rather silly IMO... its half the price, what logic makes you presume its going to be better is beyond me.
http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/google-nexus-4-1108999/review/6
Some of the negative points.
In good light, you get fantastic reproduction and the HDR mode can on occasion make that even better. In lower light, the LED gave us pleasing results though it was unable to match the intensity of the light on the Samsung Galaxy S3. That said, few phones have been able to.
In low light, the Nexus 4 really doesn't perform well, and while HDR mode on the Galaxy S3 or iPhone 5 is strong enough to fix these situations, the Nexus isn't blessed with the same skill; in fact, it usually comes out totally blurred.
We'd press it three or four times and nothing would happen, then it would take several snaps in succession. Normally, we'd assume that was because the handset had frozen but the Nexus 4's viewfinder was still moving about. THe issue resolved itself with an update, but compared to the competition the Nexus 4 remains painfully slow at snapping and focusing.
I ordered Thursday and received it yesterday !!(though shipping was shown as 1-2 weeks)
Maybe Google will be nice enough to send me the wireless charger with my super delayed phone order?
*More wishful thinking*
I wonder if the 13th Feb estimated date will come and go without my phone being shipped?
I already received an email from Google asking for proof documents which I have emailed and they have verified my account.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xllusion.livewallpaper.nexusrain
4.2.2 is also supposed to be the last Jelly Bean update as afterwards in around May time they will bring out Key-lime Pie!
I found that 51% of the battery was going on Google+, so I disabled that
Many people asked about the comma situation and I hate swiftkeys so hope it helps :smiley:
As for the beanflinger, after you tapped on it and the big bean comes up with a Smiley face hold your finger down on him and it'll take you to an mini game/interactive wallpaper... nothing special but looks pretty cool and you can use it in the daydream function, I though it was cool anyway ha
I thought you were having a wind up about the beanflinger and felt slightly foolish as I tapped 3 times in the screen but he appeared! What changes will I see? I don't have my charger with me and I'm impatient!
My battery loses about 5% overnight whilst switched on. Must admit the battery life improves with use but I also have Juice Defender installed. Put it on as soon as I got the phone so I can't say whether it has definitely improved anything but could be worth a try?
Yesterday charged phone to max, put aeroplane-mode on and woke up to find 98% battery life... great if you dont emergency phone calls in the night lol.
Overall love the phone tho
Swipe down from the top of any screen with TWO fingers
Click settings
Scroll down to Personal - press language & input
Under keyboards & input methods click on the icon next to "Android keyboard" which will open settings for it
Scroll down to "voice input key" and click on it
Select "on symbols keyboards"
And TA-DAAAA! Now you have a comma in place of where the mic should be and your mic button for voice typing will be on the second keyboard page!
Another note - Go to settings > about phone > Android/software version & tap on it three times
You will now find the beanflinger "easter egg" and have now unlocked it as a DayDream function which can be used when the phone is docked or charging :')
I am scared to do it because ive waited nearly 2 weeks and it shows sipping estimate is coming wednesday 13th - so will only take the risk to remove and re-add card if you can confirm above.
for now I have wifi and unlimited data so can stream music and videos, upload pictures to the cloud etc.
from 5.6GB
0.5GB (maximum for apps)
0.5GB (offline music from google play, about 80 tracks)
that leaves me with 4.6 GB
The problem is the video part, a 1080p takes 90MB/min
I think it's doable but there's always "what if" situation
what do you all think? Is the 40£ extra worth it?
I sent a Nexus 10 back, And it was the 7th working day since they got it back on Friday, And apparently they wait the full 14 working days before refunding! So i have all of this coming week to wait and it's the following Tuesday! Terrible to be honest, Especially as it was a £400 item.
I wouldn't pay much attention to reviews because for one as someone has already mentioned they rarely take in to account real world use and secondly you don't how impartial these reviews really are. I've that while reading review on the S3 vs Nexus 4 most reviewers seem really desperate to try and show that the S3 is a better phone and treat the Nexus 4 somewhat harshly. It's almost if they are afraid of something.
You need to fill out their return form and they email you an RMA doc to print off.
Then you have to wait 4 days to sent shipping labels :confused: can they not email the soddin things !
Then you have to contact the courier to pick the item up.
Awesome device
Personally the only things I believe the SGS3 has over the N4 are:
The albeit extra 0.1 inch of screen (worth twice the price?)
A removable battery (Is that really all that amazing?)
And yes and SD card slot/memory options
That last of which can be a deal breaker for some but hey, I've got everything I need on my phone and still got 4Gb left, thats with the 8Gb model!
At the end of the day, only you can decide but I don't believe those little features are worth over £100 more at all and I know a lo of people have gone from the SGS2 like you and said its bloody amazing...
Genuine question, I've an s2 at the moment and had considered the nexus as an alternative to the s3, but the video seemed to show the s3 as better than the nexus in most areas.
Thanks!
Help would be appreciated
Help will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

still nothing :disappointed:..
was waiting patiently looking at all the comments here who have recvd there phones
Power Toggles
Can put them on your home screen as well as in your notification bar pull down
Im switching from iPhone and getting impatient for it to be shipped.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.miabit.android.dataonoff&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIml0Lm1pYWJpdC5hbmRyb2lkLmRhdGFvbm9mZiJd
There may be others, but it was a very quick search.
EDIT: This will allow you to go to the data usage page when you click on the widget and this has a mobile data switch at the very top
As pointed out above the shortcut on you had on your old phone would be due to the fact its part of 'HTC Sense' .. I too upgraded from an EVO 3D, bloody amazing in comparison right?!
I am trying to put a one touch shortcut on my home screen to turn mobile internet on and off, on my HTC evo 3D you could make a shortcut to any setting but trying the same method on the Nexus just puts a shortcut to all settings.
Going to test the camera properly tomorrow.
1st impressions are positive, very good build quality feels good in hand a nice weight to it without being too heavy
lightning fast which to be expected being quad-core, but i really see the difference over the s2
screen quality really is fantastic, i've not seen better on any other phone
Not really had a proper test of the camera so can't comment on that as yet
At least 250 people of the 1800 comments must have the phone!
Help?
iPhone 4 = 3.5" screen & Nexus 4 = 4.7"
iPhone 4 = 1GHz CPU & Nexus 4 = 1.5GHz Quad Core
iPhone 4 = HSDPA & Nexus 4 = HSPA+ and/or DC-HSDPA
Thats just a few but you can't expect it to have all those feature advances and survive exactly the same...
12 hours of moderate usage would take my Nexus down to 15-20%
The same usage on my old iPhone 4 would only drain it to 50%.
Make of that what you will...
That is the digitizer. It has been moved as close as possible to the front of the screen to get the best touchscreen responsiveness
Nexus 4 Owners Thread
Not that I like apple but honest can't see you regretting this if you bought it, its fantastic and for less than half the price of an iPhone 5... Take a punt, can guarantee you'll love it!
I'm not really impressed with the iPhone 5. Just that I have an iPhone so it seems the natural upgrade without the money I've spent on apps going to waste.
Having seen the nexus 4 in CPW to me it looks much better. Seems blazing fast and the screen is gorgeous.
Has anyone else noticed a grid effect on the display when the phone is in standby when taken outside? It seems different to all the screens if my previous phones.
I'm still torn between this and an iPhone. I get a full day from my iPhone 4. Two if light use. 3-4 hours battery is particularly poor.
As for cases, I bought the Rearth Ringke Slim after looking at reviews online, downside is they come from USA which can take a while but I bought 3 and sold the other 2 on that auction site for the same price I got all 3 for, making mine free (and they sold like hot cakes, both within 4 hours of listing!) Either way, worth while checking out a video review :smiley:
Also, what cases are people using? The google one at £16 is a bit much and always out of stock...
Thanks
My galaxy s3 annoys me as it limits me to 480 chars (3 SMS) before wanting to send as an MMS. All my other older android devices have limited me to about 1120 chars (7 SMS), it's quite easy to go over 480 and i keep getting charged 16p or something silly for an extra 20 characters or something.
I don't want to swap to this if it does the same!?
Well all I can say larder is hang on in there! It's a great phone and I'm more than happy with it (now I've eventually got my hands on one!)
[/quote]
Hi FoxyG, still waiting for my consignment/delivery email...! :man:
Do you reckon I should RMA it back to google or live with it?
No more pending transactions from google on my credit card (and no the funds haven't fully cleared either).
What on earth is Google up to?!
Don't want to Cancel the order as I I'm having the order shipped to work and they won't deal rejecting the delivery.
Very frustrating!
PS I'm not a greedy prospector, i ordered one of each but then realised by ordering seperately I had paid double postage so reordered on one order with the intention of cancelling the first two but as previously posted on here it was too late to cancel an order even within half an hour of making the order.
Very pleased with the phone much better battery life than my Evo 3d.
Selling it for initially £405 to now £375
If you have original email confirming price and they honour quoted for 5 days then they have to bite the bullet. But easiest for them is to simply reject it and send it back.
Now what time does that PO shut? :stuck_out_tongue:
The offer was there mate why not take it?
I agree if the product, like last time was only available for a couple of days then fair enough its out of order selling it on but everyone had an equal opportunity to take advantage of the offer so why not...
But... bottled out in the end lol Just think CeX have lost a load of cash over this and will do anything to stop it going any further. I mean they only have to open it up and say oh look the glass is broke, there's a dint in the side etc and there's not a lot you could do.
Just don't think its worth taking the risk for forty odd quid tbh,
Used it for 3 hours constantly now, and battery only at 70%
Charged it up fully before turning it on for the first time
Working on the proviso : CeX will honour price quotes for 5 working days from time of order.
If you're only going to have one device a note fits the bill, if you have a tablet then an N4 is a nice compliment.
Phoned this morning to make sure and it has already been sent back to google !!
Bah.
Ordered another this morning for delivery to work - which of course will arrive when I am at home.
I just want a new phooone. This nokia 5880 is a bit on the slow side./
Im on my second charge, with light usage - few calls and a bit of browsing, at 45% battery after 27hours use.
Came in a jiffy bag, which seems strange. Would have thought they would use better packaging
Phone looks great though.
Work nights so could do with going to bed haha
Now I just have to get them to take it back because their stupid system wouldn't let me cancel an order before it shipped and two came together - one signature - but I still got charged for postage twice. I really wanted a 16gb but it kept failing to order properly so I ended up with two 8gb ones. I even cancelled within the hour but it still didn't work. Arrgh!!
like pulling down with two fingers from the top of the screen brings up setting!
Still no refund and no emails to say they have got the item, Ive sent several emails and each time they say they will get a specialist to let me know but nothing comes. Very long winded i must say, So be prepared lol.
Anyone done this yet ?
I got my order from the 30th this morning. Looking at the dispatch note it was picked up by TNT from Computer 2000(Google) on the 31st yet they didn't attempt to deliver it until yesterday.
thanks
Will it be delivered tomorrow?
Has anybody chased refund due to not meeting 2 day delivery?
How do you tell what month your phone was made in?
Poetic atmosphere case
While I was waiting for my phone to be tested - a guy came in with 5 of them :smile:
and 2 more with one each.
While waiting at the store I ordered one more for a friend as CEX have dropped the price - received an email now has been shipped out.
incase you are wondering which one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AKYX274/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
People saying the SGS3 is so much better seem to over look the fact its £200 more(on average)... I don't see the big fuss about a removable battery either
I should point out the only update to HW Rev 12 is that it will work with nokia wireless chargers and is Qi Wireless charging compliment as they have now on HW Rev 12 replaced the wireless charging PCB with a New one
but i just cant help thinking i perfer my samsung galaxy s2. the camera on the n4 isnt a patch on the sg2.
i can only imagine the s3 is going to be a better product than the n4 with, 4g, removeable battery and sd card
This would be fine if Paypal hadn't just emailed saying a transaction was declined, and last night I tried a bank machine, was declined, but tried another and it was fine.
No sign of anything wrong on my online account either.
This is the Samasung galaxy S3
Hmmm. yeahoO
Ordered Monday night
Attempted delivery today
Got the phone at about 1pm, battery was at 70%. Maxed out brightness, set all connections to on, downloading and TVCatchup over WiFi, and battery finally died at just gone 4pm. Charging now, not sure if the battery drain / conditioning is necessary with new battery tech but can't hurt, so far under heavy use 3 hours seems about right. Briefly tested camera and pictures seem similar in quality to my iPhone 4S, although admittedly the 4S seems to have slightly better detail.
Still happy with the phone though :smiley:
Cost just under £8 delivered
suppose i will keep it :sunglasses:
Any Other Shops doing this? just out of interest
Maybe I just got lucky as hell cause I have no problems whatsoever except a tiny, I mean very tiny (smaller than a pixel) blemish on the metal rim but its not a scratch... more like a bump of metal
I believe Google will send a courier to pick it up for free and even refund your £9.99 shipping.
Edit: actually maybe not the shipping part since you bought 2.

however my freind went to a cex "franchise" store, who said they would not honour the web price as they where a franchise.
try a main head office store such as kingston, Tottenham court road/
i was just thinking who have already bought it for CEX in mind might be in trouble
Just had phone call this morning saying price is now £273 and do I still want to go ahead. Gave the geek full barrels saying no I will only accept the £344 that was agreed yesterday. I even asked the kid in the store that is this price confirmed at todays rate and he said yes. They are ringing me back, Wonder if when the units in stock reached 300 that the price automatically dropped? was 231 when I took it in. Took a screengrab of site saying £344 too.
Not had anything yet, so doesnt look like mine will be here today
BASEO (website here) have 3 shops in Camden, Tott Court Road and Lewisham - I'd def recommend trying them out!
Ordered mine about the same time yesterday
Order around 4pm yesterday, delivered at 10:30 today.
Superb service :smiley:
Has anyone managed to get an OTG micro USB cable working? A quick google states that it may be a hardware issue.
Yes bubble has burst. But it was an arbitrage opportunity.
Bubble has burst now so this one is for me :smiley:
EDIT: Changes when added to basket - £273 cash now :neutral_face: phone on way today, and placed online quote yesterday. Hmmmm...
This one is a keeper, paid for by the profits from CEX.
Yeah, i know haters are gonna hate, but i wanted the phone and a bit of buying and selling got it me, so whats the big deal :wink:
Too slow! That's what happens when you doze off!
Then 3 orders showed on my Play account but 2 on wallet. One was shown as sent out on Sunday with the others still saying 13th Feb. I tried contacting them and using every cancel link/self cancel page but they wouldn't help. Refuse delivery is all I got. Monday morning two arrived togther. One signature for both and as I wasnt there to argue I came home to two.
Then the hold on my cc and bank account (I tried both to see if one would work for the 16gb) came off and Google still haven't taken the money.
No doubt they will but if CEX really give you a bit more for one, or even the same amount I'll sell one to them to save sending it back and losing out on postage both ways i.e. approx £20.
Anyone else know of any tricks/tips?
I think you need to wait a week or so for your battery to come alive, with plenty of full charges and complete shut downs.
Hope it improves for you! If you think it's a dud take it town to CeX :wink:
Had a play with this today in the CPW today, really sleek and slim, yet feels solid. Love it.
No tracking with TNT as yet, hopeful for dellivery tomorrow.

Anyone know what this means? The "consignee" is my name so it's my order.
It also has stuff before it about Birmingham and Dublin but this is the part that bothered me a bit.
Another site that reviewed the nexus 4 battery with poor low scores! http://blog.gsmarena.com/google-nexus-4-battles-through-our-battery-test-see-if-its-better-than-the-galaxy-nexus/
The solution? I turned it off fully for the first time by holding the power button. Left it 30 secs, powered it back on and voila. Since then played a few bits of music on it as well as light browsing and the battery hasn't dropped at all, not even 1% yet. Hope this helps or works for you!

As for the case and screen protector, I am really pleased with Spigen. The case is really good but the screen protector is absolutely phenomenal (Comes with the case)
When purchasing a Nexus device from Google Play, you'll notice a 'Link this device to my Google account' checkbox appear in your cart just prior to checkout. When you link a Nexus device to your Google account, we'll automatically send your name and username to the device when you first power it on. You'll just need to input your Google account password to get started.
This option will not be visible if there is more than one Nexus device in your cart.

A really bad experience shopping with Google due to all the problems so won't be buying from them again. Now I know why Apple charge such high prices as they obviously put a lot of money into customer service. Google have a lot to learn if they want to compete long term.
did the update to 4.2.1, called google support (rubbish) and followed theIR 'clear cache', 'factory reset' to no avail.
:disappointed:
Then asked for a bank statement and proof of purchase
They registered me there and then and gave me a small red, bar coded card to use in the future
They un-sealed the box and disappeared in the back for ~ 15 mins
Signed a form and walked out with cash...
I already had a CEX card so they already had my details.
I'll take it to a different store tomorrow.
Is this right?
Way to totally miss the point.
Ordered a 16GB last night (5th - 22:30)
Shipped tonight (6th - 19:05)
My main gripe is that Google decided to put the 'Power' and 'Volume Up and Down' symbols on the screen protector! I could have used it otherwise, lol.
Been debating all week whether to get one to replace my aging iphone 4.
Might aswell order now, while the second hand prices at cex/ebay are decent. Then if I am not happy with it, then it can be sold without much/if any loss.
Then again, I will not get a phone with anywhere near the specs of this for this cheap price
Looked at the TNT guy's booking sheet and there were loads being delivered to the same building (multi-company office building).
Will check with dad if he wants it again, if not, off to CEX.
Cash was paid upon completion of the testing and the signing of a few documents etc.
Hassle free sale.
I have a question regarding apps - under my running apps I have various things like Facebook, Maps, My Vodafone etc. So are these constantly running? It says if I stop them the app will fail - what does this mean? I've switched off mobile data as I'm near my limit so I'm not sure what they're doing when they're "running"
What are your experiences?
Any good resources or 'owner threads'?
But love the screen and look of this.
Now it all depends how much you can sell the Sony Headphones for. I suspect it's nearer £100 so it will cost you circa £375. The headphones are £180 at Amazon.
Have you downloaded Juice Defender from the app store? I put it on straight away so can't say if it's improved but I'm getting much more battery life than you. If you like the phone then Google will exchange it if they can't fix it over the phone. But if you're not happy with it and would rather have the Sony then it's a good excuse to return it (or you could CEX it as other have and have a bit more to go towards your Sony)
Feb 1
Google Commerce Ltd received your order.
Jan 30
You placed an order with Google Commerce Ltd on Jan 30. Google Wallet sent a copy of this receipt to
And yet most people who ordered after me have already received their phone.
Oh Google, why are you so crap at this?
Will order Xperia Z for £450 on Three and sell the Sony headphones for £150 at least, which makes the handset cost around £300 which will be a good buy...
Seem everyone else who ordered on the 30th got theirs yesterday. Hope mine comes today, although nobody will be in.
Still £344 on CEX, surely that's got to drop anytime now
I ordered 31st. Got the dispatch email with tracking today. Shame I won't be around to receive it...
I have been using Google checkout now Wallet since 2007 maybe that is why my orders have been processed swiftly.
do remember having a couple of issues with my card being blocked when I started using Google call up your credit/debit cards and check the status if the payment has been blocked.
And as for it being inferior don't make me lol please :smile:
I cannot for the life of me see why someone would sell this beautiful phone to then pay EXTRA for a WORSE device made by SONY, whatever floats your boat I guess
Anyone have UTi as the courier? They never seemed to track for me with my Nexus 10. I'm in Northern Ireland and Google went for them rather than TNT for some reason.
http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/11/how-to-root-nexus-4-on-windows.html
Hopefully will now receive them tomorrow.
Ive checked credit card and only been charged for 2 out of 4 so far.
2) Try looking at the Rearth Ringke Slim
Does your tracking number not work yet?
It's brilliant.! :smiley:
1) Do we need to apply a screen protector on the Gorilla???
2) Which case is recommended? Bumper? I've just bought this cheap one (good reviews) from Amazon:
Annoyingly I clicked 'cancel order' about 12 hours after I placed it (was going to put it on another card - not fussed really though and am still happy to pay for it with the card I placed the order on), but got an email instantly telling me they were unable to cancel the order, but that still leaves me in a bit of doubt as to whether it was *actually* cancelled and that is the reason i've not received any shipping emails (although it is still very early days).
Has anyone who tried to cancel the order received their phone?
Unless those who are getting it quicker ordered the 8GB version?
Sadly, im pretty sure it'll come wednesday, however they will make three delivery attempts so one thursday and finally friday... you'll be fine :smiley:
PS, i'm still excited though...
manufacture date: december 2012
My general consensus is from the whole process is that TNT are the ones at fault. Google must have dispatched it pretty rapidly for it to make it to my area for today, they should have picked a more reputable courier. One thing that I was not happy about is from Google is the distinct lack of packaging. Came in a jiffy bag about 4 sizes too big, lined with bubble wrap, that had a hole in from being in the van, corners of the Nexus box were a bit scruffy from just rattling about.
pure android just doesnt feel optimised for the everyday use
No shipping email.
No charge visible on credit card (except the original "hold")
Phone delivered this afternoon
After a new phone to replace my iphone 4. This is cheap compared to the other good smart phones
Or should I wait until the Xperia Z comes out and reduces in price?
No money taken.
Courier carded today. :confused:
(although card claims parcel is from Computer2000?!?)
Will probably pick up from depot tonight.
Also, no need to be insulting. Must be very annoying not having your phone eh
Brilliant phone though, very pleased.
an upgrade from my old SanFran
Great phone though, so smooth.
Anyone thinking of selling to CEX, make sure you go to the store and sell it because if you sell it via the website and post it, they take soooooooo long to pay you, last time i sold them a s3, posted on 5th january and payment was made on 26th.
DC-HSDPA is about 2/3rds of the way between 3G and 4G for all those wondering what it is
No funds have been taken as yet also
Got it on charge now, will have a play later and decide if i keep it or stick with the trusty s2
344 - 289 = 55
Ordering another to keep and possibly another to CeX but cant see them holding this price for much longer...
Incidentally you can set up a sale on-line, which holds the price for five days, might be worth doing if your phones not arrived yet.
Once you place the order its not possible to change the address
You'd have to cancel and start again... but wait you cant cancel lol
I've called them up and they said they'd try to deliver it again today. I don't hold out much hope considering they didn't even try the first time.
Had a text from Vodafone to say I've used my 500MB allowance in 2 days :confused: Only downloaded 30 apps (as part of factory reset), turned off location services, mainly using wifi too so heaven knows how I've used so much. In fact that's just today as I checked my usage and at 3am I hadn't used any data (only 2 days since bill). Barely touched the phone today as I'm at work. Something doesn't seem right?
Also, do you reckon I should send it sealed or not?
TNT web page shows:
Date Time Location Status
04/02/2013 07:13 ALTON Out for delivery
04/02/2013 02:27 ALTON At delivery depot
And that is ridiculous. They're going to make a massive loss.
According to the earlier post, they've received an additional 100 in this week, which by my calculation is £34,000 just on the Google Nexus 4 alone!
My sim tray is really sticky and takes a bit of a wedge to open.
If I return it will they expedite a new Nexus back to me?
i also have xperia T if i like it i might sell xperia T which is also brand new got it from one of the affordable mobile deals recently
Does anyone know why on google play under my orders/status it says pre-ordered?
The people that received theirs with no email etc did yours say that?
And FYI, I ordered in the December batch, to only wait 7 weeks, chased them for an update on my delivery to be told that my order had been cancelled.
ordered a 16gb - 30th Jan @ 6pm. Order date changed to 1st Feb, Est 13th Feb
Mine arrived Friday but I quickly discovered I did not have a micro SIM - fortunately I was able to get one from Orange quickly so managed to get up and running yesterday.
The phone is worth the wait, so hang in there.
Ordered - 30th - 15:03
On the tnt website it says that the parcel was collected on the 1st Feb, so I wonder if everyone who's order date changed that to the 1st is actually the date tnt received the parcel?
Mine also said it was out for delivery on Saturday, but really it was just being prepared for delivery today.
Hope you get it today pal.
Whats more annnoying is, i live 5 mins from the depo !
In other news, they still haven't taken the money for mine.
Does anyone know if TNT will drop it of at another address if I put a note out?
I would like you to escalate my order as a priority as soon as possible as it seems based on peoples information all over the internet that the processing system is working backwards with orders being processed from most recent to oldest.
My experience, read bottom before the top.
Please don't take my email personally but understand that I'm very frustrated with there not being a first come first served ordering system.
Best Regards
Mark

Hello Mark,
Thank you for contacting Google, I understand how frustrating it is to see people all around you who were lucky enough to get their orders in before the wave of orders came in and have pushed orders to the 1-2 week status.
Orders are shipped based on the estimate in your order confirmation email. Once an order has been processed you'll receive a second ship confirmation email, after which it will take an additional two business days for your order to be delivered.
Upon receiving your shipping confirmation email, you'll be given a TNT tracking number that will assist you in determining your package's estimated delivery date. You can track your delivery by providing this tracking number at http://www.tnt.com/express/en_gb/site/home.html.html
For more information on shipping and delivery, please see this article in our help center:

Any idea what this means? Doesn't sound good in my ears....
The stock messaging and dialler is oh so bland, press the power button and you don't get the reboot etc, unlike the S2 multi options, although I do like the N4 it just seems lacking. I just might need to put more time into it.
Need I say, please don't take that as an insult
Difficult customers..
Such a shame, yet another brilliant company with such awful customer service.
When I zoom in on text I still need to move the browser back and forth to read the text.
After so many years of being a loyal customer to Google, I have genuinely now lost all respect for them on any level
Opera used to work but none I've tried so far on the Nexus work.
Can see me selling the Nexus for the S4 when it arrives.
3rd Feb 2013
Dear Dan Cobley:
I apologies for escalating my complaint to your level, but my recent unfortunate experience with your company’s customer service teams has left me no recourse but write to you directly regarding this.
As a committed and loyal customers of Google Play, I am totally frustrated by the level of services that I was provided when I ordered the Google Nexus 4 phone last Wednesday. When the Google Nexus 4 phone was back in stock on last Wednesday, me as one of the loyal users of Google products, were among the earliest to order this phone via Google Play. I received an order confirmation and expect the phone to deliver as soon as possible. However, on Friday/Saturday I’ve realized from the internet that a large number of customers who had ordered hours or days later than me have had their phone delivered within 24-48 hours. Yet my order are still in pending with an estimated ship date in mid Feb, and I believe a large number of Google customers are experiencing the same frustrated issue as me.
From what I understand from a customer perspective, orders should be processed and fulfilled in a first come first serve basis, I do not mind if my phone is late as I understand Google’s product are general of huge demand, but what I do mind is the simple first come first serve principle is being obeyed in this instance. This makes me feel that I am treated in a very unfair and unprofessional manner by Google. In addition, I feel completely lack of communication during the process, my enquiries to the Google customer service have provided a less than satisfactory response.
I expected a much higher level of service from your company, and I am quite disappointed. More Google search shows that the issue was concerned by a number of Google customers last November but it looks like it still doesn’t get properly addressed this time. I appreciate your time to read my complaint and I really hope that you can have someone envisage the issue.
Yours Sincerely,
name
Nexus 4 order number:xxx

That's googles head but not anywhere does it say supply chain expertise or experience of working in distribution. Knock Apple all you like but at least their current CEO is a supply chain Guru.
The head og Google Play in the UK should be fired -it's as simple as that unless heads roll and someone takes ownership of this issue nothing will change for the better.
"Hi Dookie,
Thanks for contacting us. I'm unable to share details or comment on other customer's orders. I want to assure you that it is our goal to deliver orders in the order they are received.

Still no answers... May have to reply again.
How about email? How often does it check? You may find tweaking lots of the settings might end up in giving you a huge gain, and those tweaks are against things you don't really care about.
I turned NFC off as it isn't needed, tweaked a few of the sync settings to my liking too. Currently I'm on 24 hours since the last charge, still have 60% of the battery left.
And I don't know what all the fuss is about with the battery, lasts fine.
Asked why those who ordered after have received theirs already, they just ignored it.
Will have to see what the next response is, if they get me one, haha.
Have seen the possible issues with the camera, isn't it supposed to be due to the o/s currently rather than the handset itself?
Anyone else find the camera horrendous? I'm really annoyed that a current phone can produce such poor quality pictures. my old Sony c905, k810i, and the iPhone 4s take far better pictures. I have a digital camera but it's nice to be able to take a picture on your phone. This phone is not capable of taking a picture.
- Turned off location services (although Maps still appears to want to keep on running!)
- Installed Juice Defender
- Have the display on Auto setting.
Looking at it now it's on 57% with 8hr49mins of battery use and of that the main items on the list are Screen 24% (44mins on), Android 18%, Phone Idle 15%, WiFi 14%, Mobile Standby 12%.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Loving the phone but if it can't hold a day's charge i.e. if I'm out and about then it looks like I'll have to go back to the old iPhone 4 (I do realise that I'm not going to get the same amount of battery time on the N4)

Unfortunately it's not out yet. :disappointed: I'm patiently waiting.
No card was left and I was in most of the day anyway!
Hush troll, hush.
Edit: For those panicking about not receiving any shipping info or order status, it doesn't show much in the Google Wallet they give you in the order confirmation email, better to log in here for a better overview of where your order stands:
Google Play Account
It is annoying people who ordered after are getting theirs, only because i like tinkering with new gadgets and i have time ATM however my new NAS drive setup is due delivered same date as phone (13/02).
Dimensions HOX - 5.29" x 2.75" x 0.35" N4 - 5.27" x 2.70" x 0.36"
Someone pointed me in the direction of backup software, buy tbh i'm not bothered about copying apps and data, i'd prefer to start again on my new phone and all I want is my contacts.
Anyone who got a nexus find the power button squeeky?
Also the volume buttons do you find they can move ever so slightly vertically in the cut out .
16gb and arrived 1st Feb am
Not sure why other people have had delays.

Is this normal?
Thank you for contacting us.
Your order has already been sent to TNT, please keep a close look out early in the week for a tracking number confirmation from TNT.
This makes for a happy Liambear (fyi I'm Liambear)
Upgrade with 02 and get Nexus 4 with unlimited calls, unlimited texts,1gb Data £26 month (24months) + upfront fee £99
Or
Buy this Phone and change the sim? Any advice guys
He really is taking the pissss and to top it all off google still havnt taken payment for their fricken phone !! :wink:
TNT tracked this morning to say its out on the van. No sign of it as yet today though.
That said, I did see a hire van speed down my street, turn around as if lost before speeding out. What chance it was conscripted by TNT...
Will it be re-delivered today or not? Doesn't say anything about it in the tracking info. Says "Shipment received at destination depot" as of 21:06 last night... I guess it will arrive on Monday now.
Hurry up Google, I want my phone!
Same :/ Not sure what other case to get now
Went to get one after then realised the postage cost, yeah right!
How long is delivery taking for people?
Am I going to have to wait weeks for delivery?
So I said can I collect they said yes open till 3pm , Alton one. I went and collected them. One for wife Valentines present and one for me.
Good Luck all.
Second Order: 1 February 2013 13:32:40 UTC, Not shipped (although my card has been either charged or the money are on hold because they are not available.)
My mate ordered 5 minutes before me and hasn't got his (not even shipped), so this is kinda **** up.
Rearth seems the best
personally I prefer a two peice soft silicone inner and hard shell outer but difficult to find for the N4 a bit like the CaseMate Tough galaxy S2
Something similar to this Link
Just my thinking
http://www.avforums.com/forums/18329490-post16.html
It's easier to see what it looks like when it's on from those pics and I like it
Yeah its a bit expensive but tbh its still cheaper than the bumper (which I would have got but its bulky).... shame it covers up the beautiful back though :/
However i opened it up and must say its a fantastic looking phone and im really impressed with 4.2 jelly bean too,ive always been an iphone guy but im really considering selling my iphone 5 and keeping this phone.Some of the newer features of jelly bean are great and its making ios6 seem really stale and old in comparison.Plus the bigger screen is great too compared to the iphone 5
Overall a great phone
Thanks though.
Tracking said they tried on friday......no note left
Tracking said they tried today....while me and the mrs and two kids where all down stair within 4 ft of the front door. and also didnt leave a note...,

Received : Jan 31 10:20 AM
Sold to CEX today.
Ionic Guardian armor case
mine and many other early orders actually went from pending to pe-ordered for about 10 days
Yours moving to the 1st is a good thing (shows its imminent)
I honestly reckon you'll receive it Monday... Tuesday latest
Thanks...
ordered mine at half 3 on the 30th got all the emails on thurs. etc meant to get it delivered on friday by TNT had to take a day off, apparently ' I wasn't at home at around 5pm' after a few calls and another 'attempted' delivery had them deliver it today (live in london btw)and i got it, was buzzing its such a good phone and then i clocked its an 8gb model -.- so now im waiting for a replacement, we will see how it goes lol
advice for everyone still waiting if you're getting it from TNT go b**** and call your local depot to get it asap, the offical tnt people wanted to delay it until next wed.
I've coupled it with an three 30 day rolling contract that has UNLIMITED internet which is perfect for Google Play Music, plus unlimted texts and a few hundred minutes not that I use them... all for £10.49 per month after cash back. Three are also offering DC-HSPA which is twice the speed of normal HSPA+ so 4G really doesnt bother me, too over priced! (48mbps)
Phone arrived 13 days later
However many people who ordered 4 hours later (9pm) received theirs within two days
(8GB & bumper)
Go here to contact your local office:

we don't really, have fun with the phone!
he ordered in the 2nd round and 1-2 weeks est. del.
they delivered it on day 13
They very clearly put the dispatch time as 1-2 weeks because they knew this would happen and nobody can say anything because its well ahead of schedule.
Is there anyone out there that got Nexus 4s from either of the last 2 batches i.e. nov/dec?
The phone itself is nice, after 6 years of iPhone, Android is a nice change. The build quality doesnt feel as good but I cant justify paying double for another iPhone, especially when Apple aren't seemingly able to keep up with the times..
Google way to go to peeve off your customers.
Sending an email to CS is pointless they responsd with the same reply.
The phone is cheap but so is the customer service. Would glaldy pay more for the phone if it mean they had a proper order management system and decent customer service reps.
The order "system" that Google use seems to becoming more prevelant with retailers. I recently ordered MS points for the X360 from Tesco after seeing a deal on here. I ordered them on the 25th Jan and a friend ordered on the 27th. He has them and I don't and i get an email saying they won't be back in stock till 6th Feb so this daft random fulfilment system is obviously in use elsewhere.
honored....
And to think I thought google was the best company all this time, shoulda stayed with htc
Hehe
I have the same dispatch summary as above - goods loaded onto vehicle and out for delivery but the person on the phone said it would be monday.
TNT Tracking screen
Still nothing showing online for my CC bill, but apparently this is normal, as it will only update overnight.
EDIT: Ordered Weds 30th at 3:15pm, 1 of each. Wallet states that my CC has been charged.
Or have they covered it already?
Can anyone provide me with a useful email address or link to contact them, all I get is an automated respone!!
As it's for valentines I'm not tooooo fussed but do feel a bit annoyed with the way they deal with their orders and it's very unprofessional and unfair. If I was few years younger, I would have been very very very upset...
Someone needs to raise a page on Facebook or something to document all these inconsistencies, so it exposes their ordering and stock dispatching flaws more effectively....
The price of those bumpers frustrates me! How are they worth £16 (+shipping if ordered on their own)!?
The guy taking the phone was so careless with the brand new phone ... no doubt some A grade phones have light scratches.
Original order 31st at 6.30am.
Useless bunch of monkeys.
so will it come today........
Love how dispatch times have moved to 2 - 3 weeks now!
For both 16GB and 8GB
What a joke.
I live in crawley and it says the phone is in their crawley depo, but that status hasnt changed all day.
So im hoping tomorow .....
Also for some strange reason when I click the tracking code written in the email it says "not found"
Hello Matt,
Thank you for contacting us today.
I have consulted with Rashmi to find an update on the status of your order. It seems your order was escalated twice already and we estimate that the shippers will be able to push it through by the end of today. If you have not received any shipping information by tomorrow, please send me an email and I will follow up with a new update on the status of your order.
One more query where you all are seeing estimated delivery of 13th Feb?
My google play page status: pre-order
Clicking on the info takes to google wallet, there were no estimated delivery date, just showing you placed order on 30th with google commerce ltd..
Any help?
Hope this helps.
The only thing I can think of is that cancelling it might possibly fast track the order, just in case customers decide to keep it when it turns up.
Original order placed at 6.30am on 31st.
What's your order situation?
I have done a little research and the bypass is using a VPN, downside being very slow and having to adjust settings each time it is required. On Manx forums other manx people who purchased the Nexus 7, on-island too! Had the same problems with the Play Store.
Status still showed pending. ..
Phone turned up at 7.30 this morning shortly before status turned to "shipped"
Only explanation is that the hold only affects the order date a few days after you've put the order through - and its only the unlucky ones who notice this as they are waiting, whereas the lucky ones dont check as theyve already got their devices.
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_8gb
I received a shipping email earlier therefore hoping its at the local depot in the morning for pick-up
O2 recycle...
http://www.o2recycle.co.uk/mobiles/5428/lg-nexus-4-16gb.aspx
£95 ! I sold them an old galaxy tab for that last month, I though they might give about £300
When sending the Nexus to CEX, would it be safer to open the box first and take pics (but not take the phone out), rather than sending it sealed ? I guess for CEX it doesn't make a difference if it is sealed or not, they're going to open it anyway, no ?
Although I like to think people are trustworthy, without any proof such as picture, CEX could claim that the sealed box actually contained no phone / just a dummy phone etc ?
Thanks
You got yours mate? happy with it?
Ordered yesterday at 15:20.
Come on Google!
Sorry if I'm wrong though, I hope I am really. Edit - Which I may be based on the above reply, though maybe that's because its a redelivery?
I ordered mine tomorrow and it arrived yesterday morning.
No dispatch emails but my CC company have advised that the payment has already went through.
Finally. TNT package number doesn't work, but hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.
The main question now: Do TNT deliver on Saturdays?
Anyone else had this?
Ordered 16GB - 30th @15:02
Estimated delivery date... 13th February...
Ordered before you and no email :disappointed:
Linked Google Account? 8 or 16GB?
God only knows where it is now!
Wouldn't surprise me if as someone previously mentioned that whether you had a play account before or not makes a difference, would be interesting to see if those who have or havent received them had an account prior to ordering.
Poor service from Google.
Its a rev 11.
(just kidding - waiting since 4pm 30th)
CEX still giving £344, took it to store and within an hour I had made £50 profit. I was prepared to wait two weeks so can wait a little longer so ordered another. Interestingly, the estimated dispatch date is still 13th February for the second order
EDIT: Ordered mine yesterday at 11am and no dispatch notice, so no not everyone who ordered yesterday has theirs. Just open a bottle of wine and enjoy your Friday night, posting on here every 2 minutes wont speed it up.
why is the dispatching of orders so random if they are in stock. its like queing at the post office and everyone else getting served before you !!
Especially considering i've waited 3 months already!
(It said 1-2 weeks on the website)
ANGRY
On this page it details the change in the board and shows pics but to check you look and see if you have revision 11 or 12 with 12 being the new board
"30 Jan Google Commerce Ltd received your order."
I ordered at 15:25pm, annoyingly people who ordered around the exact same time as me have already received it! I know I'm impatient, but if it was in stock, why hasn't it been dispatched yet.
Cheers
Hi there,
Your order is processed shortly after your purchase is complete. Included in this succession of the order process, your order is reviewed for security purposes and your payment method is authorized for the charges before an actual charge is made. Please allow adequate time for your order to process.
Not really much help on the basis that others have already received their N4's.
Btw anyone notice you can trade one into CEX for £350 cash? You make ~£50
Think I'm still gonna keep onto it though.
Order date: Jan 30, 2013 7:00:33 AM PST
Delivered: Feb 01, 2013 13:38
:sunglasses:
sign in to your new phone with the same google account and your contacts should re-appear. I have been using this since Android 1.6 -this is the best way to go.
or get Phone Explorer http://www.fjsoft.at/en/home.php
I ordered on the 30th @15:02 - order still pending / not shipped
She's just this minute received hers...
Installed a few games and apps and I've only uses 4GB of my 16 so far. Feels kind of empty in there :smiley:
Emailed google and they responded straight away...
"Orders are shipped based on the estimate in your order confirmation email. Once an order has been processed you'll receive a second ship confirmation email with your tracking number. It may take 24 hours for the package tracking to return any information for your tracking number.

Then press vol - and power button till it boots give you the revision
Date of manufacture is the first part of the serial or SN on the box. First number denotes year made so 2 is 2012 and 3 is 2013
The next two numbers are the month 01 Jan 02 Feb etc
and K is Korea being the place of manufacture
I guess logistics comes in to play here - perhaps they are shipping from different warehouses that cover different regions and stock status at the warehouse determines shipping date?
I feel guilty hogging all the Nexus :stuck_out_tongue:
My google wallet just says my order has been sent to google commerce, that's it - nothing pending except lack of balance in bank account which doesn't even tell me anything or mention anything about google - shambles
My bad
http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/23/how-to-enable-4g-lte-on-the-google-nexus-4/
Hearing that people ordered yesterday and have already received it makes my blood boil.
I know you can argue that at first we were all expecting 1-2 week delivery, but the fact is they clearly have plenty of stock and they just aren't processing the orders in a fair way. All that and they charge you £10 for the luxury!
Seriously let down.
We're working to bring devices to more countries as quickly as possible.
Please check back again soon.:neutral_face:
First pair ordered 15:03 - Still 13th Feb Deliver
Second pair ordered 15:07 Still 13th Feb Deliver
Third pair, ordered 15:15 here today.
Work that out..
I suspect somewhere in the TNT warehouse someone has knocked over a huge stack of delivery orders and is now working through them in the order they re-stacked them.
Mate who ordered when he got home so post 1800, also has his today!
No way of working out their order process.
I ordered 16gb one 11am yesterday and came today... Maybe they're short on stock for the 8gb?
Good luck to you all and thanks again for the heads up.
Love HUKD :wink:
anyone know why?
Anyone else received a second handset? :confused:
On release day at 3pm I ordered 1, got confirmation for 1, dispatch email for 1. The next morning at 8am the phone arrived and I was a happy chap.
Just this minute had a second handset delivered, my online banking is down for maintenance until Sunday so I cant check if i've been billed.
Still nice to know that in the future when 4G is more readily available that the nexus 4 can in fact take advantage of the speeds.
The guy in the 2nd video implies he's from Canada too.
Sorry for cap's just trying to get peeps attention as this may help you out if your with EE!
Try this if you like a flip case, it looks quite smart IMO http://www.amazon.co.uk/Profile-Covert-Branded-Leather-Holster/dp/B00ARCOF9S/ref=sr_1_sc_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1359724367&sr=1-6-spell
"Shipment held in warehouse. Follow up actions underway "
What are the chances eh?
Thank you in advance.
Just need to sort out a micro-sim now (thought i'd have more time!)
I ordered mine on wednesday at around 4pm is anyone was wondering
It just said being Processed. After mailing they said will be delivered by the 13th Feb. Well within the timeline I agreed to.
What is odd is people getting them very quickly. I am having my delivered to London, which you would have thought should of had a large amount allocated to it.
If people order and get something the next day fair play. I only bought the phone as I'm tired of my HTC Sensation XE. I can use it for 2 more weeks without kicking off at Google. If people are that unhappy go to Apple. They have lovely phones that are slower, locked down and cost more. Quit whining and just get on with it. :man:
That said I am happy cos I got mine
That said again, maybe your card flagged a security risk, maybe the couriers are overwhelmes in your area, maybe they just don't like your name (dodgy is an odd first name)
I bought mine a few minutes after 3pm and I'd like my phone to have been delivered yesterday too, but as I signed up to 2 weeks, I wont throw a hissy fit until two weeks are up. :smiley:
if you
Power off
Then press vol - and power button till it boots
Then let me know manufacture date and HW Rev (it will be 10, 11 or 12)
It would be much appreciated :-)
Not Google's fault.
Out for dispatch TODAY!!!

Nothing. Google sucks.
Unfortunately 2 of my 3 handsets suffered from this awful earpeice problem whereby you couldnt have it on full volume as it would just sound too crackly and distorted the only way to fix it was to turn it down but then you can't hear the other person. It also emitted this constant buzzing noise whether in-call or not.
The one good handset had terrible backlight bleed at the bottom of the screen so any dark backgrounds and you'd be put off.
Aside from that I loved this phone but for now will swap to an iphone 5 and wait for the nexus 5.
No backlight bleed and not anything noticeable from the earpiece. I would like to see tighter buttons though they are "loose" feeling compared to some other phones.
I know its no issue though as its the same method samsung and many manufacturers are using for volume rockers just now. Hey ho.
All in all really nice phone
I suffered from all three with three different handsets and gave up in the end but I hope none of you have to deal with this.
And to correct myself I actually placed the order at 11:17am not 2pm..... (didn't realise it was that early)
For more information about this consignment, please call our Call Centre free on 0800 100 600
When I rang, they are unable to locate it. Please advise
(a) be delivered on a strictly first-come-first-served basis
(b) 1 to 2 weeks
?
If it said (a) then fair enough, be irate, if it said (b), then Google is doing exactly what you signed up for unless it gets to two weeks and you don't have it.
Turns out my order was picked up yesterday and is out for delivery today! (Only got the despatched email 10 minutes ago). Don't despair people (who haven't received tracking details) you may be nexus'n before the weekend yet!
Looking at the Tracking it appears to be in my City ALREADY, should have it by the time I get home this afternoon- YAY !!!
My Defy has a battery that lasts 3-4 days with light use.
However all I seem to read about the Nexus 4 is that your lucky to get a day out of it.
Can anyone confirm how general battery use is.
Now to choose a case. Any suggestions on a case that will protect my phone while it's sloshing around in my handbag? There are so many around but I need something that'll protect the screen too. Maybe a screen protector with the Poetic Borderline case? Or maybe this leather one
None too shabby. Lets see if it survives TNTs handling!
I really feel sorry for UK business having to put up with the attitudes of consumers in this thread.
It doesn't seem to be done by area as my friends a few doors down the road who ordered at 11pm last night got his dispatch email at 6pm today while I have had no dispatch email despite my order being put through at 3.30pm.
I Don't mind the wait if they did all the dispatches in the order they were received.:stuck_out_tongue:
Let's hope I get mine shipped out.
I ordered at 18:09. I wonder if they have stock of the 16gig and not the 8gig!
Ordered at 3:35pm yesterday.
Got 2 entries on my Order Screen.
Tried cancelling one.
Rang Google who said it was only one & couldn't cancel now.
No email received today.
Will I get one tomorrow? Let's see...
The problems experienced this time & December on top of NOT being able to get one in November is enough to drive a man to APPLE !!!
Ordered 16GB last night @17:40
It's been 0.5 days so far, still no phone!
The swines!!
Best thing people can do is stop refreshing, and stop worrying about other people getting theirs. They have a 2 week estimate, just get on with your lives until it arrives. :smiley:
regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.
Although we attempted to honor your request, we were unable to cancel your order in this window.
But still no shipping e mail, Awful service from such a large company.
Heat added
Its people like you that **** me off, order because its a 'Hot deal' on the say so of a website and not because you actually want it. Or consider making a profit for the sake of a couple of quid. pfft..
I just wish Google had sorted the stock out at first, as I desperately wanted the device back in November, but now I just don't feel the same buzz for it.
By then I will be playing with my lovely Nexus 4 @ £280 Cheers !
Hi,
Thanks for contacting Google Play regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.
Although we attempted to honor your request, we were unable to cancel your order in this window. There are a couple of options now:
IF YOU ARE ABLE TO ACCESS THE SHIPPING ADDRESS-
If you (or a known acquaintance) are able to access the shipping address, your package is scheduled to arrive there. If you no longer want the package, you can refuse the unopened package from the shipper and Google will issue you a refund. You can read the instructions for refusing delivery for your location below.
In the UK and Australia:
If your device has not yet been delivered, it is en route, and you may be able to REFUSE DELIVERY (see instructions at bottom of this message). If your device has been delivered, but you would like to return it, please follow the returns process posted at: http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2411741
REFUSE DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: Don't open the package. Our shipper will not allow refusal of delivery for opened packages. Leave a prominent note on the door to let our shipping provider know that you're refusing delivery of the package. In some cases our shipping provider has returned packages if their drivers see a note for refusal of delivery. The note should include the following:
- Refuse delivery
- Return to Sender
- Include signature
- Include tracking #
If your package is returned due to refusal of delivery, your order will be cancelled and refunded within 2 weeks.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ACCESS YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS-
If your device is being shipped to an address you cannot access, please reply to this email and we will work on trying to contact the shipper about the change of address. We cannot guarantee that we can stop shipment for your order.
Thanks for reading through this email- please feel free to reply if you have any questions, and a member of the Google Play Support team will be in touch with you shortly.
Regards,
The Google Play Support team
Best of luck to everyone with their orders.
boo - nobody is going to be in when it is
Does anyone know what TNT usually do when nobody is in? Will I be able to collect it from them on Saturday morning? Or will I have to rearrange a delivery slot for next week?
Cheers.
Love how things have been lost in translation between US and UK :smiley:
Here's hoping tomorrow then, I was expecting 2 weeks! Winner!
In UK english i also get "delivered" althought my tnt track number isn't recognised yet.(I presume that means my phone isn't in the possession of tnt yet)
In US english the status is changed to "shipped"
In French the status would be "shipped" as well if I translate. and not "delivered"
Same in German and Spanish.
Hope that helps. I think the most important thing is the tnt track number and what's the actual status on tnt tracking page is.
FACT: Choosing to link your device or not during checkout has ZERO impact on your delivery
FACT: Assuming you are in mainland UK, your location has ZERO impact on your ship date (if TNT get lost finding you that's unrelated)
FACT: Ordering 2 seconds before the next guy does not mean you will receive your order before him/her.
FACT: The guys at the airport in Korea are not loading phones one by one by hand while looking at who ordered at what precise second and minute in the day. Likewise, the guys at the airport in the UK won't be doing that, nor will TNT. It will be in a batch.
FACT: If you didn't receive your phone today, it doesn't mean you will never ever receive it
FACT: You all purchased under the assumption delivery will be in two weeks time, worst case. It has been just 1 day and a lot of people are already moaning - "i ordered a product with a 2 week shipping estimate and it's been 1 day and i still haven't received it, google sucks" -> sounds ridiculous.
Credit to the person who wrote those fact. I am just sharing my readings here.
I agree with him about the last fact but we all turn back to kids when we pressed that "Order now" button yesterday. Can4t wait to play with our new toy even knowing that it takes at least 2/3 days in average to receive anything ordered from internet. And yet we (me first) all complain and keep on hitting refresh on all those opened tabs (google store, email, this webpage ...) :smirk:
Shipping estimate: February 13, 2013
2 Day Delivery???????
Hmmmmmmm. Not quite is it.
Ordered 30/01 @15h20
Shipping mail received 31/01 @18h32
Status changed from "estimated delivery 13 February" to "Shipped" on google
just sayin :stuck_out_tongue:
I've managed to order after yesterday's cock up so it should be here soon if they deliver by customer name...
Rgds,
Aaron Aardvark.
:stuck_out_tongue:
**wow that was quick, its now sold!**
http://youtu.be/CUFA_gTBszo
Think the S2 does pretty well overall
I have the iPhone to use until it arrives, so can wait the 2 weeks if necessary, but like a kid before Xmas, now I've ordered it I want it ASAP!!
Why didn't they just hide it in the cost of the device?
Nexus 4 8GB £249.00 inc free delivery
nexus 4 16GB £289.00 inc free delivery
The orders are dealt with in batches by C2000 so how they process these is up to them nothing to do with google. Google just put your order on a spreadsheet in order of time purchased and it is sent to C2000 for shipping. How and when they do this is up to them.
I know the reason there was a hold up the last time was nothing to do with phone stock levels but the fact C2000 ran out of pre paid TNT shipping labels for the google play account so had to wait on TNT delivering a new batch lol laughable I know but should they have used another courier im sure things would have been smoother
Order Date: 30 January 2013 15:01:10 16 gb paid with a credit card if that makes any difference.
Google may deliver their orders via customer's name.
and sadly name surname start with Z.
I am in the same boat as you, I'd have liked to have received mine today, I didn't - but I wont throw my toys out of the pram for another week. :smiley:
Uh oh. There was a problem.
We couldn't start your purchase because of a technical issue.
However, if it said that the phone is out of stock and it will likely be despatched within 1 or 2 weeks, that's when you should expect to get it and not any time sooner.
I do agree however googles choice of partner for this was possibly not the best given who they partner with for delivery etc so fair comment mark
Hopefully everyone will get their phone soon. Its only been a day so don't panic people, even if others have theirs.
I'm intending to keep the phone for 12-18 months, £40 over 18 months is just a little over £2/month.
Whilst Google Music allows me to store thousands of songs in the Cloud, I don't always have access to perfect coverage where streaming high quality music is viable. That's not very inconvenient if you don't have many albums or want to store only a few on your device.
I hardly store any videos and photos can be uploaded to a Dropbox/Box account on the go. By the way, a few weeks ago I was able to get 50 GB free lifetime account with Box by registering the phone, not sure if that deal is still on the table, though.
The only real problem are apps, mainly games, that can often go into GBs these days, and the sizes increase every year. I already have only 5.17GB free space available and that is without storing anything large on the device, besides a few games.
If you root and make a backup of the system+data, it's easily 2GB. Photos and videos taken with the phone can easily go to 1-2GB in no time at all. You should always have a little space storing music locally and apps will usually take a few GBs, depending on what games you install and how you use your phone. I also flash a lot of ROMs, which themselves are usually around 200 MB large, so having some extra storage for that is a must.
Case in point, the 16GB model for me makes sense in the long run. I don't have to worry about the storage, even though I have most of my games and videos (not porn, mostly TV shows) stored on my Nexus 7 tablet.
The real free storage on the 16GB N4 is around 12.92 GB whereas the 8GB has around 5.67 GB of free space. That's almost 130% more storage for 21% increase in cost, which I felt was justified in the end. If my use was any different, I'd go with Cloud services and spent that £40 on a good night out or new IEMs.
Hope that helps anyone who's still wondering which version to get of this incredibly well priced device.
I have a feeling that they now have tonnes in stock - which means that the majority of people will receive them within 1-2 days of ordering.
As with any high price item, I would ship recorded as a precaution should item get lost in the post (never happened to any games I have sent to CEX but ya never know). I only ever had one issue with sending a game to CEX, when I sent a game as sealed but it wasn't (my mistake). However, I got a phone call quoting the reduced price, I wasn't happy with the new price so they sent the game back to me free of charge. Whether or not they do this with phones I am not sure
a) You pay the postage (6 quid RMSD)
b) Will they agree its in the condition you say it is
c) If you send it sealed they'll probably open it and say its not new
Better really to deal face to face imo
Computer 2000

Telephone: 01256 463344
So if I fill this form out now, get to the store later and they don't have enough cash or price has changed, I just ship them to CEX direct?
They are a huge distribution company with many large names of tech on the books so deal with orders in batches
Nothing against Google but as this is the case phoning them won't help as they honestly have no idea and not their fault its all handled by another company in the UK.
The run dispatch in batches and hence why you get a wave of phones sent at the same time
Once its shipped from there your Google wallet transaction will change from pending to a paid transaction with a TNT reference. Which may or may not mean anything to TNT as mentioned they reuse tracking numbers but it will have shipped at this point
You will get a dispatched email from Google though at this time also
;-)
Trouble is I actually want one to keep lol do I order another before it sells out?
Not to worried this time, I'm sure another batch of emails will appear this evening
Think last time shipping emails were sent out around 6pm onwards and delivered the following day
Ordered at 3:02:10 PM GMT / not shipped
You bought the phone from Google for £288
The £288 is charged to your payment card and google would have received an authorization code from your bank. This allows them to request the money from your bank.
In the mean time your bank puts £288 into a suspense account where it sits pending from 3-5 days
Since google wont actually charge you until it ships they money shows off your available £££ in your bank account but it has not been claimed by google as they havent shipped your phone
So after 3-5 days. If your phone hasnt shipped £288 will fall back into your account.
Then when the phone ships the £288 will be processed again and this time google will clime the money and you will see £288 Google play order on your transactions list for your bank.
This is quite an american way of doing things as its taken you are paying by credit card. Even the play store asks what credit card you want to pay with.
If you had paid with a credit card they transaction would go through just the same but you wouldnt notice the £288 being put into the pending state as its not YOUR money your being restricted to accessing it would only be £288 of credit available.
Its more down to the fact its always been advised to use a credit card on the play store and pretty much the norm for americans to pay for most on a credit card where as here in the uk we use our debit cards more which is why this happens.
If you see in about 3-5 days the funds will become avail again unless google ship the phone, in which case you will see the payment on your statement
So got 8GB in hand now, dont know what to do it ? CEX it or bay it
Arrrggg! Can't decide !
Anyone know, seems very random this?
thanks
Suz
the shipping date still 13th Feb and money hasn't been charged yet.
Suz
I'm sure you can wait until yours arrives :smiley:
The one I've been using still has screen protectors on and has been in a case but the imei barcode has slightly worn away, do you think cex will still give £344 for it?
Did you just order it now?
I have been trying to order since past 30 mins
But it shows me a "technical error" message?
Anyone else get that?
I'm an iPhone user. I've had an iPhone since the first 2G one, then 3G, then 4, currently iPhone 5 (regrettable "upgrade"). I hate Apple as a company, the way they operate, the stupidly overpriced devices, and yet - I buy their products. Well, I buy the iPhone anyway. I love iOS and I find it second nature. I've used Android before, many times. I've tried and wanted so badly to like it more than iOS, but I just can't get on with it. I just don't feel Android is as user-friendly, as streamlined, as smooth as iOS. Android just feels like an inferior quality in comparison with iOS.
Now, I'm yet to experience Jellybean or Google's Nexus branded devices. Please, can someone (hopefully someone who's been in my shoes) tell me the honest truth. Is this Google Nexus 4 any different from Samsung's, HTC's or Motorola's devices? Price aside, let's imagine the iPhone 5 is £400 and the Google Nexus 4 is £400 also, would they be considered comparable in user-friendliness and functionality? I hope this is the device that will make me finally bid farewell to Apple. That said, not having iMessage or Facetime is going to cause issues..
But I think you will find that even this phone and Jelly Bean are not quite as polished as iPhone. The third party apps are of a slightly higher quality - but we are now getting to the point where the difference is marginal.
Jellybean is something different altogether. It's beautiful, modern and ridiculously smooth, whereas I think iOS now looks stale and dated.
I can't recommend the N4 enough, certainly at that price, but each to thier own
When I had the Galaxy SII I felt that the interface wasn't as smooth as my iPhone, which was a major reason for selling it and reverting back to the older device. I think it was the combination of the Android version (Gingerbread) and Samsungs TouchWiz interface that put me off.
I haven't had any hands-on time with the Nexus 4, but I did give the Nexus 7 a quick go on display at Tesco, and the interface has come a long way since Gingerbread. Stock Android and "Project Butter" seem to have made all the difference, so I have high hopes that I can finally start moving away from iOS.
My advice would be to try and find a Nexus 4, 7 or 10 on display in a shop somewhere and have a quick play. Larger Tesco, HMV or Carphone Warehouse stores would be good places to start. I know that some Android devices have extra features (removable battery / MicroSIM / OTG) but for someone coming from iOS, will they really be needed yet? My main reason for getting the Nexus is to at least start moving away from iOS and begin to build a relationship with Android. Otherwise I will start buying more apps for iOS which will make it harder to break away as time goes on.
PS, regarding FaceTime and iMessage? Skype and WhatsApp are two examples of alternatives that come to mind as replacements
Hope that helps :smiley:
Im going to give the Nexus a fair go and if i dont like it will just sell it on.
Same with my S3 will sell that too if i like the Nexus.The thing that bothers me is the price of any other phone i might want compared to this Nexus almost double.
An S4 is going to be what £499 + ?? I like the look of the Sony Xperia Z but thats £530 same as an iphone5.
This Nexus is just too good price to pass up on.
I've well and truly fallen out of love with my iPhone 4 (now on my third '4', although whilst that is annoying, at least I can just book a slot at the local Apple store and get it replaced there and then very easily).
WP8 device for something fresh or this other Android device (only real alternative to the Nexus is the S3).
I may just order one and see how I get on with it I guess
They may have sorted the stock issues.. :smiley:
My wife has an S3 which I think is great but the nexus is head and shoulders betters. The only things I find better about the samsung is a faster shutter speed (but the photo's are better on the Nexus) and the lack on expandle storage on the nexus. The nexus is better in every other way. If you can manage without the extra storage then sell you S3 and keep the nexus. It's seriously slick.
I finally got my order in, hope it comes quick now.
...sent from my nexus 4 :-D!
Received my device just before Xmas.
Picked it up after a 3 hour charge and the back shattered in my hand leaving cuts.
Apparently the shock from my cold hand (just came in from outside in the snow) triggered the glass to have a freak reaction.
Called Google Play (who are DIABOLICAL) and they arranged an RMA
TNT delivered my replacement to someone else.
Swear this has been the worst experience I have ever had lol
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4822179
I ordered in December but cancelled as was fed up of waiting. It seemed back then that if you ordered after a certain time the order numbers reset and were lower than people who ordered the minute it became available, so people who ordered later got their phones first. So, for a 15:10 order the last set of numbers in my order number are 1521327627855379.
To test the theory, can someone with a dispatch note who ordered after 15:10 (if any) provide the last part of their order number to compare?
3:05:50 for a 16GB dispatched
3:10:40 for a 16GB not dispatched
If sunny ordered at 3:07 and didn't get a dispatch, it's likely orders placed in the first 6 minutes ish being sent out today. :smiley:
Pretty sad that.
nuts, wasn't expecting it for 2 weeks as per the site lol
Going to clear my schedule for the morning so I can sit and bask in its heavenly glow.
You can always do the trade with CEX online, although you will need to pay P&P and again, if they classify it at a lower grade, your stumped
Saying that though, I have traded many games with them in the past both in store and online, and found it relatively hassle free
In my local stores, the N4 is the most wanted handset, so they'll probably take a lot unless the stores managers have seen that these are in stock for real this time.
Just wait in the queue (up to 30mins in my local), they put it through the tills, give it a Grade A as it's brand new and put it in for a test. Before the new system came in, you had to then return after 1-6 hours after it had been tested to collect the cash, if your store has BACS, they will put the payment through when they finish testing, so you don't need to come back.
Really is that simple, the BACS takes 3-4 days to come through, but it does come through. :stuck_out_tongue:
I ordered at 3:02, 16GB model.
https://play.google.com/store/account
It should show the Nexus at the top of the list, with a Cancel link on the right
How odd!
Thanks for contacting Google Play regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.
Although we attempted to honor your request, we were unable to cancel your order in this window.
The S3 has removable storage, a better camera, OTG support and uses the cheaper, more common MHL connection for TV-out.
The Nexus 4 is marginally better in the CPU & GPU areas but not enough that you'd notice and IPS vs OLED is moot.
I'm happy with my Nexus 4 but I wouldn't go to the effort of replacing an S3 with it.
Official bumper still out of stock though :disappointed:
If not, how much are they?
I've seen enough fugly purple cases or ones with embarassing designs on the back to do me for a lifetime at this stage.
Willing to pay a premium for better protection.
Owners thread http://www.hotukdeals.com/ask/nexus-4-owners-thread-1393990 hopefully will be more active now more stock in.

Offering £335 cash for a new 16gb at the moment, probably start to drop though
Virgin have been around for a while now, and aside from the well known teething problems they had with iPhone 5 network settings causing dropouts (grrrr apple), its been superb now its fixed. One thing i've noticed, is that the phone considers the network link to be LTE enabled, even though its not. Still, the faster HSPA+ connection rivals the US LTE speeds at 11mbps. Well chuffed.
Edit: after a wee bit researching, it appears my phone defaults to EE's 4G services (even though we dont have 4G here), not sure if this is the norm with Virgin, or if its a mistake.
Due in stock in 1 week from this This site £15.98 delivered. waaay better than bumper thing and a video review here
it costs US$425.99 + DHL US$24.99 = US$449.99 = £285 + TAX ??
The main thing is the phone, which is to be honest a very good phone, especially considering the price. The phone is extremely quick and I have had no issues with my phone, showing that LG has fixed any hardware faults reported. I would recommend the 8GB to those who will use it primarily for just calls and texts, a few apps and pictures as well as they dont take up much space. The 16GB is perfect for me as I dont keep movies or music on my phone. The battery life is also excellent for me, lasting me two days. As for the camera, I am not a professional photographer, so to me this is still an 8MP camera.
This phone might not appeal to everyone but since when does everyone have the same requirements or needs. For me this phone is brilliant and it is packed with many features also offering first hand updates straight from Google. The best thing about Android is that it is totally customisable, so if you dont like something, you can find and change things so it will be exactly how you want.
USB otg doesn't work on the nexus 4 unfortunately... Massive fuss on xda where its believed that's its due to a hardware limitation.
I read that only 440,000 units, worldwide, were produced on that first / second batch, hence the "sold out in minutes" headlines.
When Apple / Samsung release a phone, they often have 5-6 million ready.
Rearth Ringke Slim Case for Google Nexus 4 - £13
Yeah there is a slight gap, though I think that's the case with all the screen protectors for this phone. The case does well to protect the phone
I'm not knocking it, I quite fancy this phone myself and am typing this on a nexus 7 but cloud storage is of no use to you when you're on holiday abroad with no WiFi or on a plane at 33000 feet.
Maybe
Theyre ugly, especially compared to this, and the screen quality is poor from the ones ive used. Plus those nasty software buttons make the screen feel cramped.
Google are a bunch of hypocrites. They are turning into the new Apple.
I wish google would reverse thecompanies manufacturing the tabs. Samsung are far better for 7" tablets, as their 10" are plagued by issues due to the nasty cheap plastic. Asus on the other hand have lead the 10" android space since they entered it.
Think ill cough up the extra few hundred quid for the excellent upcoming Sony phone and tab. Im becoming incredibly bored with ios. Would be even better if someone actually made a decent windows rt tablet.
Virgin are far better, and have superior coverage as they use orange/tmob masts as opposed to crappy O2.
I live in northern england, a place no one acknowledges as being part of the country, and i still manage 11mbps down, 4 up on the outskirts of sunderland, as opposed to O2's 3mbps down.
Also, virgin allow for unlimited tethering on their unlimited data plans, where as giffgaff do not.
And no, they are not always down or experiencing issues. There have been a couple of problems in the last couple of years, but generally great.
The Virgin deal is great as well though.
Bought an 8gb!
Alternatively I think you can get topcashback.
From what I understand the older style 3G sims have a larger contact footprint (as mine was) and they can be a little tricky.
Plenty of people have had success in doing it though, cutters are about 3 quid on ebay
Some networks will issue one for free
T-Mobile / EE charge a tenner
I cut mine and it was fine, I used the web to find a pic of new micro Sims and tried chopping mine with the same gaps
Wow that gone up was only 99p on Sunday/Monday...I know I bought one :smiley:
(When I had this last month, the only way to get my account to make purchases if I sent them scans of photo ID and a bank statement! Ended up just purchasing using the Mrs account but with my payment details - figure that one out?!?)
Maybe try giving them a call.
Uh oh. There was a problem.
We couldn't start your purchase because of a technical issue.
Details of the problem below:
Sorry, we were unable to process this request. Any charge will be automatically cancelled within 24 hours. Please try again after 24 hours.
If it does you can get a giffgaff micro from here: http://www.giffgaffmicro.co.uk
This will come with £5 credit if it helps anyone...
Is it worth getting one of these to replace my sensation?
You could sell your sensation ?
I have a custom ROM on it, ARHD but the nexus is very fast and battery is about double for me.
I have a anker battery but not that much improvement.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 on the other hand is about 20% better battery than the nexus, I've heard....
Hope this helps, PM if you need any more advice or help
I have suffered from a cracked screen though and have sent it off to LG for repair (hopefully will cost about £140 or less!!) they esitmate £60 to £100. Very brittle phone!!!!
Obviously different phones suit different peoples needs, I do like the SGS 3 but at nearly twice the price and the fact it has touchwiz... the SD slot doesnt appeal to me :wink:
Has anyone got this Nilkin flip cover by any chance... any good?
I believe you can cancel a transaction only if its in the first hour! stupid I know!
personally i keep other content apart from music on my phone.. videos,zips,exe's,pdf's, etc etc,
guess it depends how you use it..
is a great phone for the money.. but consider the s3 lte (i personally like having physical home button as well)
for all those who have picked the nexus check out the
paranoid android rom on xda looks decent!
I phoned Google and they have no explanation and I cannot cancel 1 order even though phones have not been posted. Worst service ever, guess ill have to take it up with my bank. Google receipt even states "you will not be charged until you order has shipped".
sd slot and removable battery are.
I've had the 16GB N4 since the last messed up orders, and I genuinely cant fault it aside from the slightly disappointing camera, though photosphere and little planets makes up for this a bit.
I have 5.69 GB free have about 100 apps/games on it and about 100 photos and 50 songs
While on a topic of storage, what is the actual capacity of the 16GBs? I ask this because after formatting and OS my iPhone 3g was around 14.5GB?
The 3310 edges in the entertainment category, it has snake2 as standard.
Its not really worth all the debate, if you really don't think 16GB is enough and are not happy with the streaming solution then this simply isn't the phone for you. However if you are fine with it, then its a great phone for the money.
Google sell them for under the rrp
Brilliant phone having been lucky enough to get one before Xmas. I am managing two days battery life with stock settings and where my desire hd just about did a day and that was with battery saver app installed to eek it out that far lol.
4G is still 2 years away from being anywhere near an affordable rival to 3G and the incrediable speeds will slow when more traffic picks up as well as being restricted by allowance caps or download limits.
So if you want to pay for it fine but if like most you would cry at the price of 4G just now or the download limits imposed, by the time it is a viable alternative to 3G and offers the likes of GiffGaff pricing and no limits you will be on your next phone anyway which will have lte
So no 4G. Dont sweat it. It would cost a fortune to run and limits restrict how much you could use it to its potential
SD slot is worth it alone
Smilly Face
this is just the price google sell it for. If honda sold a Civic for £3000 opossed to Arnold Clark who sells it at £14000 would you not want to know when it was back in stock with Honda?
If you buy the plans for a hyperspeed rocket, build it, fly close enough to a black hole for a year by the time you return it will be several years later and you can buy the iphone Quantum or the N-Berry wearable Flux Socks.
Il just have to stick to buying old tech like this Nexus 4 though since I dont have any engineering experience. Damn
If you are willing to take the hit on the £100 for this then you know you will have a device to last 2 years minimum if your inclined to stick with it should you like it for that length of time.
Its still not perfect but then nothing ever will be otherwise they wouldnt have anything to sell you in a years time. it is however a cracking device but its a different demographic to the note so depends on needs and wants
Got one last time round. Very good phone if you consider the price. My main concern was battery life - it is acceptable. Coming from a 2000mAh Galaxy S2 it was a bit of a let down. But the phone easily lasted through a the day if I mostly used wi-fi. On 3g modem it was slightly worse. And heavy use depleted the battery rather quickly.
Vanilla Android is a little disappointing as well. I missed the samsung dialer and capacitive buttons plus the physical home button.
Sold mine eventually and kept the Samsung.
One thing to note I hear people saying the screen bezel is black on the white version and thus is a lazy way to make a white handset, This is true as it means very little change to the production line.
But the other reason this is done is and you can check this all you want, a white bezel often does not look as uniform when watching a movie etc as it gives you a white border around the display, it catches the users eye and also has the illusion of a smaller screen.
I only know this through work i have done with some mobile companies. Apple dont seem to bother with this and to my mind yes I think a fully white phone looks lovely but when using one especially in daylight it does glare abit and distract you from the screen.
So thats why the front will be black chose of which you will as being the real reason. I like to think a bit of both.
It does however at pressent have black buttons. I really would hope this changes in final production otherwise it might as well have a star wars logo on it and call it a stormtrooper
I was going to wait for the xperia z, but at £550 I think I'll give it a miss
So absolutly there will be newer greater tech this year but with a much higher price point. In tech terms the year runs from Q3 year 1 to Q2 year two, not from January to Feb.
Some companies like apple and google set aside seperate launch events which usually run about August time,
plus the nexus was only released 3 months ago so its not old by any means.
also people moaning about support the support time on any mobile is 2 years regardless of manufacturer. Thats the support time that is set out. If they feel they can easily or inexpensivly continue beyond this where there is a need they might well do so but its a guide line minimum of 2 years. so no manufacturer or Software company is better than any other in this respect as its industry wide
cheers.
Only if you want a phablet and use your phone enough to find it too small and clumsy to use, which most obviously are.
The way Delivery & returns are handled in the US and UK are COMPLETLY different.
UPS offer a great service over in the states. In the UK TNT and a 3rd party distribution company deal with all shipping and returns.
So you place your order. It then goes on a spreadsheet style system which goes to the distributer ( i cant remember the name just now)
They handle many large companies stock however so google is not their only priority.
once they recieve all the orders they work through them in batches to get them to TNT who then deliver
Google simply have the payment system and order service.
so before slating google look to the ones actually handling the stock. :neutral_face:
cheers
I'm not too sure how long i've had my sensation, probably nearly 2 years i think. I was considering getting an IPhone 4S late last year but obviously seeing as they've been superseeded by the 5 i don't think i'll bother. Also thought about a galaxy s3, but they seem quite dear and the size of the device puts me off slightly. As i say if i can sell my sensation i'm going to seriously consider getting one of these.
So tempted by this phone but having to steer well clear.... so much good spoiled by such small but vital issues.
Have plenty of time though :smiley: lol
I want in white now.
In two weeks this will be 'old' anyway, HTC bringing out a new flagship phone and S4 coming out soon too, but its a good phone for the price, I myself didn't want to spend £500 on a phone, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is still worth about 340 new, so this phone is more worth while.
And 2 days delivery for £9.99, RMSD is less than that for next day b4 1pm
Possibly a lot cheaper elsewhere, is a big seller in China apparently
Does anyone where I can get the sim credit back off my PAYG sim? I have £40 on one doing nothing.
Its worth the wait :wink:

On top of the phones' cost of: £558 (16gb x2)
Am certain it will be excellent but don`t want to wait for more than 2 weeks for a phone to arrive, (bit cheeky to charge for delivery for a crap delivery service!)
I was concerned about the microSd slot at first as well but Google Music is excellent and I decided it is only a minor concern - still annoying though!
Anyone know any decent low cost sub £10 SIM only contracts for this?
I then tried to cancel my 2 original orders but received the following reply :
Thanks for contacting Google Play regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.
Although we attempted to honor your request, we were unable to cancel your order in this window.
So if i'm to believe that it has already been shipped but i'm sceptical !
With the 16gb one you get about 14 or 15 something I think.
"At this point it is no longer possible to cancel this order. Your order is processed shortly after your purchase is complete. Our expedited order fulfillment process ensures that packages are delivered quickly, which also means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to our shipping provider moving forward with delivery."
Two weeks. That's their idea of quick delivery.
Anyone would think they were owned by Zavvi.
(I'm never in that much of a rush for anything anyway, which I guess is lucky lol)

Good price, good phone, sure 2013 phones are around the corner but prices will be much higher than this. And we will get Key Lime Pie sooner rather than later!
In realityland that doesn't happen to everyone, hence people having 'budgets' they have to stick to.
Alien concept, I know!
Ordered a Google Nexus 7 in November - they quoted 3-5 working days for delivery. Nothing after 7 w/days so contacted them (on a Thursday). They blamed US Thanksgiving hols for the delay & told me it should be with me the next morning, or Monday at the VERY latest. (Even though the device was being dispatched from Dublin) Needless to say, nothing arrived.
Phoned again the next Wednesday to be told the couriers must have lost it... and that I should try to track it down with them!
I reminded them that my purchase contract was with Google, not the couriers, so they were responsible for getting the goods to me, not vice versa. They then stated they would cancel the original order - provided I signed a Consent Form for the original device to be 'deactivated'. This would mean waiting for the form to be posted to me, completing it and posting it back to them before they would re-order a new one - which would take... another 3-5 working days for delivery!. They refused to take any further action or expedite delivery until this process was done.
So they were told to stick it & I went to Currys and bought something else.
3 weeks later a card from a courier arrived at my door telling me no-one was home when they tried to deliver it that day & how to collect it. Promptly binned.
Another lost sale. They really need to up their game.
Hopefully it's only a white version (pictures are around) and will suit chavs/ those who secretly harbour some degree of racism; but if its a version with 32gb or an sd card slot....is it worth waiting to see?
The price of the Nexus 7 dropped after the larger capacity version was released, maybe it will be the same for the N4??
As for the rumoured N4 v2, I would imagine it would be higher storage options and the activation of the currently dormant 4G chip.
If you buy a white phone you're either a chav or a racist? I bet you vote Labour.
They refunded me the money MINUS postage, despite not having to send me anything anymore.
Still sending them e-mails asking for a response.
The lack of stock is a surefire way to create a FAR bigger demand than the item would usually carry, so, in my conspirical mind, Google have outdone themselves in generating huge amounts of publicity and demand, simply by them being 'out of stock'...
The more you can't have something, the more you want it! Even if you didn't really want it in the first place...
Memory is cheap, instant and simple.
Stick with my S2 for now.
I bought one on launch form the play store, It was a cluster£$%^ from the start due to backorders etc but i forgave that anyway for the massive demand they saw for this.
Anyway it arrived the first week in Dec and through the worst possible courier in my opinion.
TNT they are £$&%*£* useless. Both phone and bumper came in bags that were torn to hell and taped back up by TNT. The N4 box was crushed and trying to get them to deliver to anywhere but the address on the delivery note is not going to happen as the company Google use for distribution will only allow them to deliver to the original address.
Anyway the device came and it was damaged no doubt through the abuse it was subjected to at TNT.
I waited a month for a returns bag and at that I couldn't hand it into the TNT office as it needed to go through a booking process over the phone even although everything is pre paid and bag provided from TNT and costs covered by google.
Long story short phone is awesome. Google could not be more helpful although you have to speak to the Customer service in the US so they dont really know what happens in the UK.
Google dont really care about the 28days return etc as long as you log a call with them to return the item before the deadline they will happily refund the money once the device is received back to the supplier or distribution (depending if you want a replacement or refund)
so
Google service = Awesome
Nexus 4 = awesome phone
TNT = no customer service, unhelpful and potentially careless with items.
You wont find another device close for this price and even with all the previous heartache and headache through TNT I have once again to place an order and hopefully I will get this one in one piece.
Years of bitter experience have taught me that TNT's usual modus operandi is to lose all despatches in transit and then to take weeks 'investigating' before denying all knowledge. I think you made this all up. There is no way you could have got your phone from them in whatever state of repair. Even if you got down on your knees and cried and begged.
same way as u can change iphone battery.
dont ask me the details, just google it :smiley:
Yeah TNT is horrible they lost my Nexus 4 back in December
How did you get on with that? did you get a replacement out quickly?
(Ps to folk saying how you get the great updates, and support over a longer time, well the Nexus S was supported for just 2 years from release, the 4.1.2 update was confirmed as the last, so yes Nexus did get the update WELL before S2, but both have had support for approx 2 years....Also 4.1.2 I find to be quite sluggish on the Nexus S, but very smooth on the S2)
Really doesn't appeal to me at all now. Got my S2 for £170, it's on 4.1.2, really impressed with it.
The Nexus 4 doesn't appear to be the great bargain it did a couple of months ago. It is good, but with limitations. To me the 16gb model is basically a £300 phone, at best, so the price is not that amazing.
And yes, I know 16GB is a lot of storage on a phone... but really, throwing everything else onto an online server just seems a total waste!
Plus as its a nexus you know it will get around a 2 year upgrade path from google not an oem who will customize the android os and possibly never release the latest build for your phone.
Down side mobile world congress is acoming and in about a month you will have all the latest 2013 phones flaunted in your face but you have to remember although these WILL be better than anything at the moment most wont be available until July August and have a price point around the £500 + mark.
so the nexus is a case where you get more than what you pay for which is rare
or.. use box.com, if you sign up using your nexus 4, you get 50GB for life!
That's why I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab over a Nexus, and that's why my next phone won't be a Nexus.
Google, get with the bloody program, you're losing sales over one piddly thing most manufacturers consider a basic!
Sign up to Dropbox and get a 2GB account, set to automatically upload photos. Eventually you should earn an extra 5GB of space
SkyDrive has 7GB of free cloud storage
Thats 14GB of storage there, also consider Google Drive, Cubby, Box etc
Most likely LG have given Google an estimate when they can make enough phones to sell as they've had production issues.
We couldn't start your purchase because of a technical issue." Is anybody else experiencing this?
hence i suppose
Well as we don't know what the specs are of the S4 how can you say its not better? It will most certainly have a faster processor, a 1080p screen and a better camera which are the main features people pay for in a phone.
It is meant to have a crazy battery and be "unbreakable" = sold for me! :smiley:
PS. This is from a current RAZR i owner.. I have been more than impressed with the Motorola hardware quality!
N4 owner BTW.
Even though the Z will be about double the price
I sold my Xperia S and bought a Nexus4 and i'm overjoyed. It's an amazing phone, and I would have been happy to pay £450+ for it... (shhhsh, don't tell Google/LG).
I hope this advanced news helps some people.
According to a good source (Android Police) the Nexus 4 will be back in stock in the UK Play store at 3pm today (January 30th).

Here's the link to the 8GB £239 version:

Price will prob go down as they are being sold again though!
Do you know what a deal is? It's RRP right.......
In the meantime, those of us on this site who understand the dictionary definition of a deal (e.g. A bargain) shall carry on with our day.
So, to boost sales I'm setting the RRP at £2.50. I hear you're looking for a helicopter. Do we have a deal?
http://www.hotukdeals.com/misc/lg-nexus-4-back-stock-from-3pm-30th-january-google-play-1461252#post17065140
The phone has recently come into stock in US/Germany.
Im hanging on for the white one. Hopefully it night also be 32gb.
Very true, but for the sake of a few weeks i'm almost tempted to wait. If it says delivery within 2-4 weeks then i think that might sway the decision too.
edit : ok ok - becasue the article says so..
Did you make that up for heat?
